    Had a great half-day wildlife /fishing drift trip on the Kenai, guided by Dallin. He was at the meetup on time, and ready to go. Equipment was high-quality and in good condition. Dallin pointed out wildlife, put us on fish, and maintained a friendly upbeat professional attitude. We caught fish, saw wildlife, had a great time. Would definitely do the same trip with Five Dogs and Dallin again.
