Default Help - Anyone been to this place?

Does anyone have any first hand experience with Frontier River Guides?



Well, from the looks of their rafts and tents, I believe they were on
a float trip to Moraine Creek in the Katmai area of Alaska when I was
there a couple of years ago.

Their camp site looked pretty well set up with sleeping tents and a
large eating area. Moraine Creek isn't very long from the put-in, but
it is some of the finest rainbow fishing in AK. You could easily hook
up with 60 fish in a day, landing half of them. Lots of big grayling
also. My largest rainbow on a trip three years ago (29 1/2 inches)
came from the Moraine. Two foot bows are common. We only had about 6
hours to float the river/fish. If you spend five days on that river,
you will be in fly fishing heaven.

If you go to the Katmai area, you will see 25+ brown bear every day
regarless the river you float. Since you can not hunt the brown bear
in the Katmai, they are used to seeing man, and are not afraid. At
times I would stop fishing (when we stopped to wade), sit down to
watch them, and take pictures. Facinating. We chased a sow and her
three cubs from an island used as a lunch break area, while I was
"asked" to move off of a couple of gravel bars by big males.
