About
Our specialty and best guided fishing value in the state of Alaska. Guiding from a powerboat allows Ben and Ryan to cover lots of water and quickly get to where the fish are and present bait, lure and flies in the most effective way. Miller’s Riverboat Service boats are comfortable, stable and have plenty of power to transport 4 fishermen over extremely shallow water safely. Each boat is fully outfitted to give Ben and Ryan every advantage possible including trolling motors, sonar/GPS and ability to transport over 20 rods.
Please give us a call if you need to accommodate more people.
