The salmon fishing was over the top and as always, the staff worked hard to ensure a great time. Rus seems to have a knack for finding guides that are knowledgeable, helpful, and just good guys to hang out with. Thanks for all your efforts.”

It’s a special place. I’ve never seen such an untouched amazing place, with absolutely fantastic fishing.
Places like this take work to both preserve it and take such great care of the guests. Thanks to the crew for another unbeatable trip with my son.”

I’ve always worked more than I should but being able to unplug personally and professionally and truly enjoy the beauty, adventure and have some fun with the absolutely amazing guides, Rus and the 8 other adventurers was even better than I anticipated.

“Great trip! Very fishable river. No boats, no motors. Just bugs, bears, and fish. A real Alaskan adventure. Not for the faint of heart but the real Alaska never was and shouldn’t be.

“…all of the outstanding memories of the camp: the unusually congenial guests, the more than accommodating guides, the incomparably knowledgeable veteran head guide, the varied and gourmet table fare, the curious and plentiful brown bears, the colorful feisty dollies, and the countless acrobatic silvers. And, oh yeah, the nearly perfect weather rounding out the final week of the season. Absolutely unforgettable. Thanks again for an incomparable experience in a truly unique place.”

Darnestown, MD

“The whole experience was, how do you say, EPIC! You do a spectacular job given the [remote] conditions you have to work under. It was a unique and rewarding experience, one that I will cherish the rest of my life. You have selected your staff well. They work cooperatively in a challenging environment, all have our best interests at heart and of course the guides understood they had our lives in their hands. It’s challenging to work with older guys like us in physically demanding outdoor conditions, but I always felt safe. The guides went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our time fishing. When I returned and met my friends for coffee and started recounting our close encounters with the bears, their eyes were like saucers. You don’t get an up close and personal experience with nature like this one on a Princess cruise.”

“I spend a lot of time in the wilderness but have rarely felt so insignificant with the mountains on one side of me and the North Pacific on the other. The scale of Alaska is truly hard to get your mind around. Thanks for doing such a great job of keeping the camp so clean and tidy [in crummy weather]. You have a great staff of motivated guys.”

“Again, a fantastic week at EPIC’s SAFARI camp. Thanks to the careful and devoted attention of all of the staff. The fishing was outstanding, the food fantastic and the camp very comfortable. This was our 4th trip. As you all know I have Parkinson’s disease and I was not sure I could still fly fish. With your help I was still able to catch fish. This means very much to me.”

Jason Williams

Austin, TX
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“As my second trip comes to an end, I have discovered just how memorable and powerful an EPIC Adventure can be. Alaska is a place with unpredictable weather, which makes it an unpredictable trip. Although, the experience gives you more excitement and knowledge every time. Even though my trip still has three more days left, this trip has been completely different than the last one but has affected me the same. I have been to different places in the world, even in Alaska. The Adventures here can never be repeated but only remembered, which is why I love this place and is what makes this place an EPIC Adventure. Thank you – you make all this possible.”
Parker Regan

“For almost 70 years of my life, all I had done was to imagine what [Alaska] might be like from the many articles and pictures I had seen…. No pictures, videos, or stories can ever come close to portraying what it feels like to be there. I will never forget my trip for as long as I have a brain!”

Austin, TX
Alaska Wilderness Outpost
“You will find no lodge here. At this camp…land comes to an end. You truly feel at the edge of our world. The incredible fishing is only outdone by the riveting scenery that takes hold of all your attention. EPIC is the only outfit that blends all aspects of a lifetime fly fishing trip into a single place in time. No one does it better. Anywhere.”
Shepherd Farrand
in 2010
Germantown, MD
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“I have been fishing for 30 years and have NEVER spent time in a place that offered a more exciting and diverse fishery than EPIC’s Safari camp. It simply was the BEST place I have ever been to wet a line. The fish are amazing, the hospitality is better, and the physical beauty is unrivaled.”
J.D. Creedon
in 2010
Boston, MA
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“EPIC’s Safari has great fishing but that’s not what keeps going back time after time. It’s the place and the people. It’s the wildness, the spectacular beauty, the animals and birds and a staff whose only goal is to offer up a variety of experiences that capture wild Alaska at its best. This place is unforgettable, it has become a part of us forever.”
Peter & Diane Ware
in 2010
White City, OR

“This was my first major flyfishing trip, and I’ve obviously set the bar too high for future trips… the fish, the camp, the vistas. I can’t imagine ever topping this experience.”
Paul P.

Washington D.C.

“In the end, this place is not about us, it is about the balance between the seasons and tide, the predators and prey. We are merely visitors, empowered by Rus and his team at EPIC to so briefly observe and interact with the beauty that abounds.”
Doug T.
in 2010
Hilton Head, SC
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“The wonderment that is felt as you enter The Bay for the first time cannot be expressed in still life photographs, HD video, or in words. The SAFARI camp is a true outdoorsman experience and a separation from all the things that business and technology do to clutter our daily life. 7 days felt like a month of true escape into the untouched Alaska wilderness… A trip of a lifetime!”
Kevin R.
in 2010
Hilton Head, SC

“Since learning how to fly fish in my early teenage years, I have been dreaming about fishing in remote places. After 30 years my dream has come true – fishing in Alaska has exceeded my expectations by far. Never before have I fly fished such big fish and and so many varieties of fish in the most beautiful part of the world!”

Austin, TX

“My second trip to [SAFARI] camp was as great as the first (in 2005). I did different things, different hikes, fished different water and different styles – and still didn’t do all that there is to do. I’ll have to come back again. And those surreal, exhilarating helicopter fly-outs are absolutely a highlight of a week of highlights. And I caught the most mint-perfect, immaculate, blemish-free Silver Salmon I’ve ever seen. But you gotta love those toothy Chums too. Thanks for another amazing trip!”
Mike C.
in 2009
Thompsonville, MI
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“Why pay the extra money to go to Alaska? Simply put, there are fishing events that occur with regularity in Alaska that rarely happen, if ever, in the lower 48. Giant rainbows on mouse patterns. Multiple bear sightings in one day. Catching five species of salmonids before lunch time. I’ve visited Epic Angling’s camps three times . . . next year will be my fourth. It’s a world class outfit that offers an unparalleled experience.”
Mike Geertson

”It’s really cool to look back now and still be able to relive the details of all the places and especially the mannerisms of all the guides. Your crew really left an impression on me, I had read “The Last American Man” on the flight up there and you guys were an amazing, rare example of all the good parts of young, able men. I love the work ethic and the lack of sensationalism that your whole group shows. It’s hard to put into words, but read that book if you get the chance.”
James Trombley

Asheville, NC

“I wanted to tell you & Ted what a great trip I had to EPIC. Your camp was very well run & clean. The experience was all that I could have asked for. I look back in my mind and often reflect on not the fish, but the chance to see rivers in pristine wilderness. To think that I may have caught a fish that has never been caught before is a dream come true. Many thanks to you & the crew for your commitment to providing a true Alaska experience.”
Rand Olsen

Idaho Falls, ID

“The week was everything I hoped it would be and being able to share it with my son made it even better. Ted, Jeremy, Lowell, and Parker were great and of course Phil. Thanks again Rus for providing such a wonderful experience. It is good to know there are places like that left in the world. “

“Expert guides who focus on your needs and desires was very important to this relative newcomer to the world of fly fishing. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the Outpost was the insistence by the guides that everyone treat all fish caught with respect.”
Steve Larsen

“The Outpost Camp is a true fly fisherman’s dream come true. Short on frills but long on hours and hours of fly fishing in a remote and untouched stream.”
Steve Larsen
in 2006
Austin, TX
Alaska Wilderness Outpost
“I have fished for Alaskan rainbows for 10 years and the fishing I experienced at the Outpost Camp was undoubtedly the best for size, freshness of fish, virgin water, and variety of fly types (including dries, streamers, nymphs, and mice). This is true wilderness rainbow, grayling, and dolly varden fly fishing at its best – with salmon as a bonus!”
Alan Bray
in 2006
Austin, TX

“The takes are no gentle ‘sip the fly off the surface’. At the Outpost Camp the water explodes with low flying scud missile trout. Man, those knees will keep shaking for weeks!”

“From time to time during a recent fishing trip elsewhere, we talked about fishing experiences. When my turn came, everyone became very quiet and listened intently as I described the incredible fishery you have in Alaska. As I spoke about our daily trips across the tundra and the wide variety of species we caught, everyone got a glimpse of one of the ultimate fishing destinations in the world.”
Nils Pearson

Nantucket, MA

“I have traveled over 30 years to some great fly fishing spots, including other parts of Alaska, but EPIC’s camp was the most exciting trip of them all. Our high expectations were far surpassed with the “luxury camping,” friendly and experienced guides, great fishing, and meals that compete with the best of city restaurants! And the incredible view is something I will never forget.”
Tony Boynton

Boston, MA
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“I’d been so enthusiastic about Alaska Wilderness Safari that I convinced Diane to try it out on my 3rd visit. After her first peek at the bay, and the camp setting, she said, “I get it!” Our week was truly a ‘peak experience’ for both of us and we’re both headed back next year. Great fishing, hiking, scenery and so much more.”
Peter & Diane Ware
in 2005
White City, OR

“Silvers on top water, sight casting to char in crystal clear waters, this trip was more than expected and all I could take. Thru a lifetime of fishing trips, this one will be impossible to top… until I come back again.”
Randy Pigott
in 2004
Austin, TX
Alaska Wilderness Safari
“Flying through the mountains, landing on the beach, helicopter rides to the next bay, griz, eagles, humpies, chums and 30 silvers in a day – on a fly – with gourmet dinners and a little guitar playing for dessert – a very memorable week that went by all too quickly.”
Thomas Fain

Seattle, WA

“I took my son on the Alaska Wilderness Safari for college graduation, and at the conclusion he told me it was the best vacation of his life. For a dad, it doesn’t get any better than that – plus it was the best fishing of my life.”
