“What an incredible time my family and I had staying at Riddles and fishing with them. We stayed for 5 nights and everything from the moment we arrived until the moment we left was exceptional. Britt was so amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! Our fishing guide Greg was also great and his knowledge of the river and experience put us right on the fish everyday. We will most definitely be staying here again in the future!” Vaudra Nunley- Idaho
“Our group of 4 fishermen had an amazing experience at this lodge. Welcoming and comfortable accommodations, friendly and effective fishing guides and the location can not be beat. We saw eagles, moose and bear in addition to the many fish. I can confidently recommend this lodge to others. Big thank you to Brittany and Josh for all of their assistance in helping us have an excellent trip.” Charlie Cornforth – Idaho
“Hands down the best! We stayed here for 5 days. The hospitality, the food, the fishing, the living quarters, and the people 12 out of 10! Josh and Brit did everything they could to make it an epic trip. Brit did a fish fry for everyone one night, was unbelievable. Greg the guide was an absolute legend. Limited out every day. We will never go anywhere else but here when we go back to alaska.” Matt McGowan – Michigan
“This trip has been one of the best trips we’ve ever been on. I cannot believe how incredible this has been. Riddles made us feel at home and treated us like family. Greg was an awesome guide, Britt makes the best breakfasts (she thinks of everything! So hospitable) , and we had so much fun on our fly out charter to wolverine creek. A bear swam around our boat!! We also loved sitting around the fire on the river each night watching the eagles and seals in the river. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thank you! We will be back :)” – Catherine Dunkin – Colorado
“Another wonderful year of Alaska Fishing! We have been going to Alaska for 14 years in total, but the last 8 have been the best with Riddle’s Fishing Lodge. Kim and Ross have once again worked their magic of terrific fishing opportunities which this year included, Reds, Kings (this year they were catch and release only which was still a terrific experience), Silvers and Halibut (offshore). We had an awesome time catching fish and then relaxing in the evenings around the campfire. We highly recommend this experience to everyone! Thanks again to Kim and Ross!!!” Ken, Marie and Garry
“Fantastic! This is an ideal place to do the entire Kenai Peninsula. The fishing and the sites are marvelous. The owners and staff were fun. The bears showed up across the river just in time for sitting around the fire. Back to Montana for the feast and stories of a great adventure” – Dennis O’Donnell – Montana
“I Really appreciate you exposing your world and brand of fishing to me. I fish all over and having grown up in Oregon, I have to say your experience, patience, service, and family were all top-notch in my book. You put me on the two biggest Salmon I’ve Ever landed- 50 and 40lbs. Thanks for hanging in there w/ me and taking the extra time to get that 50lb hook up—it was an experience of a lifetime. I really like the fact you let me do my own hookups, pick my spin glow, bait, lead size, and tie my own knot— I really do appreciate it—too many times guides are grumpy and only want you to do it their way ” Scott O. Mohr
“Perfect getaway for the fishing vacation, The fishing has always been good on my trips and Kim and Ross have always been great host. The property sits on the Kenia River with a deck overlooking a wildlife viewing area. You never know what you will see next, bears, crazy fisherman, moose running from bears and always eagles. Kim will take care of the trips if you let, just tell her what you want to fish for. The Guides they use have always been great with me requesting them again for the next trip. The cabins are nice with all the conveniences you will need for a fishing getaway. Stores and restaurants close by for dining.

“Just got back from a fishing trip in Alaska with my brother; a friend recommended that we stay at Riddle’s Fishing Lodge on the Kenai River just outside of Kenai. What a great recommendation, we loved it. Riddle’s sits above a stretch of the river that produces great King salmons and sockeyes (Reds) fishing. Ross Harding, who along with his wife Kim own Riddle’s, is a native Alaskan with a great personality and an excellent guide; Kim is a “do anything for you” kind of host (and great looking which never hurts). The fishing was great, but the hospitality was even better. Nothing like sitting on the deck overlooking the river watching fishermen across the river catching Reds, watching the seals play in the river, seeing an occasional bear come to the river for a meal or sitting around the evening fire sharing stories and friendship with their other (very interesting) guests and seeing an occasional caribou come walking around the house. Accommodations are very clean and comfortable. The bad part of staying at Riddle’s was that you never wanted to go to bed. They also arranged our halibut trip (caught a 75 pounder and saw a pod of orca), recommended other things to see and great places to eat. We will definitely try to get back to Riddle’s. Riddle’s is very popular and you need to book well in advance.” Don – Carmel, IN
“Bernie has dreamed of fishing in Alaska. Could not have found a better place to make that dream come true than Riddle’s. Ross & Kim were great, cabin was great with everything you needed. Fish cleaner Britt and fire starter Steven were also great. Had a great time, hope to be back soon and will recommend you to anyone we know that want to fish in Alaska!” Bernie & Pat Ranney – Columbus, Ohio
“We had four excellent days of fishing, Halibut, Rainbow, Dolly Varden & Silver Salmon. Kim, Ross, Britt & Steven looked after us so well making us feel so welcome and at ease. It as been for me, a keen fisherman the most memorable fishing trip of my life! Thanks for the wonderful visit.” Chris Peebles – San Diego, CA
“Thank you for making our family so Welcome, we felt at home! Great fishing & lots of laughs! We will see you again!” Don & Holly Langenfeld – Sandpoint, Idaho
“We have been fishing in Alaska since 2004, but got tipped off to Riddles during the summer of 2008. What a great experience staying there has been. They are like an extended family and takes all the hassle and guesswork out of arranging fishing trips. Kim uses the most experienced, expert guides on the river; everything that happens there is designed to accommodate their guests. We book a year ahead and everything is ready for us when we get there, all we have to do is catch the fish!!!” Susan A – Wyoming
“What an adventure to share time with my three sons and two son in-laws, in a paradise like you developed here at Riddle’s Lodge. Your friendly daily conversations and attention to all detail was exceptional. The way your family shares in the operation of the lodge is unique in this day and time. We will return here again. Thanks for all your help & hospitality.” Lloyd Lopez – Phoenix, AZ.
“You all made our experience here the best anyone could hope for. Alaska is the greatest as are you. We hope to return again in a couple of years.

See you soon!” Mike & Sharon Fetterley – Scio, Oregon
“Thanks for making our first trip to Alaska a time to remember. We had a great week, met some great people. You have a very nice lodge and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed.

Thanks for Everything, we look forward to our next visit.” The Robinsons – Wayland, Texas
