A note of thanks to Italio River Adventures. Our stay with them was a remarkable experience. Pat and Bob exceeded our expectations with every aspect of our trip. Eating a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie while looking into the eyes of a wolf not 30 feet away seems to sum up the whole experience. Thanks again, Gordon Herzog Thank
you Pat and Bob, my trip was awesome.
Seeing all the glaciers was amazing, and floating down the river
was very exciting and fun even though Pat gave Gordo and I the raft that
always spun 360’s. The
fishing was excellent except for the period of time when Pat tied me on
a fly with no hook. The
food was great especially Bob’s pies.
Thanks again for a wonderful experience and adventure. Geoff

You guys were outstanding. Two
thumbs up from Dick and I. Couldn’t
you serve hamburgers instead of Salmon?
Other than that it couldn’t have been better.
You make us feel like family! -Randy James
Bob,
Pat & Lisa –
Many thanks for your warm (but not necessarily dry) hospitality
during my fist trip to southeast. The
wild life viewing along the New Italio float was tremendous – you mean
not everyone sees two moose, five bear, and a wolf fishing?
The Coho were great, and catching multiple species during the
same week brought variety. I
never thought, however, that I would be razzed so heavily for using
spinning gear.. by someone who rolls tortillas for bait and burns
plastic in the wild.
Bob, thanks for putting me up at your place and carrying the
lions’ share (or was that 3 lions shares) of the gear up to Italio
Falls. Seeing the icebergs on Harlequin Lake during our Kayak
portion was a high point of the trip.
Good food & friendship were just some of the benefits of this
trip I didn’t expect. Best
Wishes, John

Had a really good time. Lots of fish really enjoyed the company and the setup here. The accommodations. The food was excellent. Really enjoyed my self.
This
trip was very enjoyable, the fishing was great. I enjoyed having the opportunity to meet bob, Pat & Lisa.
The scenery was beautiful and the experience was wonderful. Jerry Enos
Fishing was outstanding! Food was outstanding! Weather was outstanding! (How did you get 5 perfect days?) You guys are good people and made my stay very enjoyable. Thanks for everything.
I had a wonderful time! The fishing was great and the people, Bob, Pat & Lisa were great! Lisa the food was outstanding and you’re to be complimented on the fine presentation. Bob, I really appreciated you’re hanging in there with us. You did a good job and packed up a lot of fish (sorry) about that – you ran in to some fish eaters! All in all a most enjoyable experience!

Pat,
Bob, Lisa, Teen,
Thanks again for another great trip.
This will be my 3rd trip to IRA, returning with good
friends. Again you folks
have provided great hospitality. But
more important your friendship. You
continue to provide a quality operation, with a verity of opportunities
to experience things that one would only find in Alaska i.e. fish
entering the Italio at the mouth doing their aerobatics.
Catching fish in the incoming tide in the surf on a fly rod.
Great trip again, Hope to return next year. Your

Thank you so much for the amazing fishing trip. Your
hospitality is second to none. I
appreciate the friendship that we have developed over the past two
years, and look forward to future trips with all of you.
Keep up the good work. Truly

It wasn’t the “end of the run”
Being
my first trip to AK, I didn’t know what to expect.
However, you guys made the trip a one of a kind experience.
Good fishing, good company and good food. Thnx
Don
Bob
and Pat’s excellent adventure! Yes
it was! All my expectations
have been surpassed on this trip. The
food was incredible the fishing was amazing and the “camp” was
comfortable. This trip will
be the subject of many future fishing camp stories.
Please look us up on your travel to Southern Utah. Thanks

Bob & Pat, What a ride! Non-stop fun & excitement, stopping only for fine dining, dream filled nights & competitive fish story socials. From early morning coffee to the evening vacuum packing, it was a time to remember ….. a time to forget the stresses of the mainland, work, school, money, all of it …. Just focus on your fly and your back cast. What bug will be the best today? Pink, red, black, purple or maybe that yellow-chartreuse- sparkling – fur tailed critters. The jet boat ride was classic – a Disney quality experience with Bob’s rapid stop technique….assholes, elbows & fly rods to the front of the boat! Dude has had a life changing experience 0 we’ll see if he can ever get Alaska out of his system. I know I can’t. Thanks for the life extending memories. You did a great job and I appreciate all your hard work & patience… The junior guide needs a little more work (maybe he’s just a little slow) keep working with him… Much success in the future, hopefully our paths will cross again. God bless, Rick

It doesn’t get better than this!
You really have something special here … Thanks for sharing it
with us. I hate to see this
week end; each day was a new adventure full of fun, excitement and great
scenery .. not to mention lots of fish.
The treasures I found on the beach will always have a place on my
shelf. The trip photos will
always be close at hand to share with my family, friends and anybody
that comes through our door. You really went out of your way to make us comfortable and
make this truly a trip of a lifetime.
I hope you can come and share some winter trips with us down in
our country. Thanks
for the memories, They
will be treasured forever! Dave

Bob
& Pat, My
first Alaskan adventure!! Upon arriving in Yakutat, I did not know what to expect.
Then Teen Miller picked us up with Tanis and Eden as helpers.
Tanis asked me to help calm Eden in the car going to the B &
B, I pulled out the oldies,
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Start?.. & “The ABC’s.”
Tanis made me feel at home and ease as did Pat & Bob the rest
of the trip. Although, Tanis asked me about my boy and family … He was
great (future guide). The
fishing was excellent … more than 20 fish days average … including
taking salmon on top water flies (orgasmic).
After fishing, there is the center camp building that if
you go in, you come out stuffed with some of the best cooked food ever.
I looked forward each day to the great menu… Better than most
restaurants I have been too normally I do not eat salmon, but Bob &
Pat cooked up some of the best dishes ever (beg for/try the Blackened
Mango Tequila Salmon). The adventure included many activities, … “Jet boat
rides:, “Beach combing at 30mph on for wheelers” and “dry packing
fish every day.” Now
that the adventure is over … I am looking for ways to extend it.
It was great!! Thanks
for the great Phillip
