Five day fishing trip For my first ever fishing excursion, I picked Tower Rock Lodge. I hit a home run with them. The only thing you have to bring with you are the clothes that you’re gonna wear, Tower Rock will provide everything else. Everything they provide, you is top-notch from the food they prepare, the fishing equipment you use and there extremely professional and fun fishing guides. If you’re looking for a great experience, this is the place to go. Rich D California

Best trip ever!!!!! Even though we had delayed flights, once we arrived at the lodge everything became a positive experience. This was our 15th season at TRL. Joe, Maude, the guides, and the rest of the staff were phenomenal. Fishing was unbelievable. We got our limit of sockeye, halibut, and silvers. The food is exceptional. I have already spoken to Joe about our trip for next year. I would advise that anyone looking for a fishing vacation to contact Tower Rock Lodge.

Catch a lot of salmon, big tasty salmon and have fun doing it If you want to catch a lot of salmon, big tasty salmon and have fun doing it, this is the place. Very relaxing scenery, the best guides, great equipment, waders and boots. Just show up with your fishing license and get ready to catch fish and have a great time. Staff and chef are great, awesome meals. I'm ready to come back as soon as I eat by 150 pounds of fresh salmon!

Would do it again TRL was everything you would want for an ultimate Alaska fishing experience. The guides were knowledgeable, relatable and an abundance of education. They took all your stress away from you permitting you to enjoy your long anticipated trip. Easy to converse with they handled themselves as the professionals they are. Chef Amanda was beyond anything we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her dishes were exquisitely presented, flavorful and an absolute delight. Housekeeper Lindsay was a breath of fresh air. Always a spring in her step and a smile on her face. You had to just mention something to her and she would make it happen. She showed up at our door with champagne on my sister’s anniversary. Accommodations were clean and neat, thanks to Lindsay. Owner Joe made certain each guest was taken care of. He guided as well as operated the lodge. His whole team complement each other and represent the pinnacle of fishing in Alaska. Many thanks to Joe and his team for a wonderful week of halibut, fly out, sockeye and silver. Our take home maxed out or permitted fly home.

TRL or bust!!! Tower Rock Lodge is a pinnacle of hospitality and fishing experiences. The guides are all knowledgeable and charismatic (shout-out Cameron, Willy, Brant, Griff, Joe, and Crile). They did an incredible job of not only putting us on fish but also answering questions and educating us about the environment, wildlife, and history of the area. The housekeeping and kitchen staff were incredibly welcoming with amazing food and immaculate facilities (shout out Amanda, Lindsey, and Chris). The staff from top to bottom goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing experience, even going as far as shipping me an amazing souvenir that had been forgotten on the Dream Machine (go and you'll understand why it's called that). Thank you again TRL!!

Outstanding trip and service! My son and I enjoyed a great trip to TRL with outstanding fishing for reds fishing with Willie, Brant and Cameron. They all did a superb job. Amanda and Lindsey pampered with wonderful food and service. Joe has put together a first class team and I recommend you book a trip with them.

Top Notch Lodge for Alaskan fishing The staff at Tower Rock Lodge is terrific. They made our stay one to remember. We went out fishing 3 days, day 1 Halibut, day 2 Salmon on Kasilhof, and day 3 sea plane to a glacier lake. I traveled with 3 buddies that I have been fishing with for the last 15 years. This was by far our best trip. We caught our limit of fish on each of the three days. We thought this amazing as other fisherman nearby did not experience the same luck. Joe (the owner) was fantastic. He was very down to earth and knew were the fish were. His guides (special shout out to Cameron) were knowledgeable and fun to go fishing with. Top notch all the way. And finally Amanda our chef was accommodating to some finicky eaters. If you have ever considered an Alaska fishing trip, you will be impressed if you go to Tower Rock Lodhe

Exceptional Team at Tower Rock Lodge This was a bucket list trip for my buddy from New Zealand and boy did it deliver!!…The Tower Rock team excel in all regards - great facility, top notch food and excursions with their own guides who are exceptional. If you are looking for the personal touch, an outfit that does not subcontract its fishing trips and is completely self reliant, then Tower Rock Lodge is the place for you. We cannot recommend enough…fabulous trip in all regards!

The best of Alaska! This was absolutely a trip of a lifetime The guides were outstanding ours was Cam who was absolutely exceptional. The food was off the charts and accommodations were very very clean. My wife and I limited on sockeye all three days. Our halibut trip was a bucket list trip. Joe Brett and Cameron were our captain and deckhands. I fish plastics and absolutely put the wood to a 63 inch halibut and a 50 plus halibut. Look them up on the halibut chart. Griff the coordinator of the whole thing is absolutely the best at what he does. I recommend this trip to everybody who has never experienced Alaska. Again thank you to Tower Rock Lodge and their staff Nick the exceptional chef and all the guides and especially Griff.

Savor the experience ... Four of us went August 12 - 21. It was our first trip to TRL for my wife and I and the fourth for my brother-in-law and second for his wife. We wanted to fish the Kenai predominantly for Coho and Pinks. We also took a day for a fly out via float plane to another lake as well as a day trip fishing for halibut and Rock Fish. Briefly, we had a great time. The guides were amazing in their knowledge and patience in putting us on fish. Both the fly-out and deep sea were excellent experiences, returning with loads of fish. The lodge was clean, neat and well maintained. We stayed in a comfortable four bed/one bath cabin. The resident Chef, Nick, prepared amazingly succulent dinners and lunches when we were close enough to return for lunch. When we couldn't return for lunch, a well stocked picnic hamper was provided. In the evenings it was very relaxing to sit by the fire and enjoy a drink and the excellent hors d'oeuvres. The staff (especially Maude) was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The other guests were engaging and interesting. Summary ... Tower Rock Lodge is a wonderful experience to be savored.
