Why choose Chris Batin to be your personal instructor? Because he has been teaching Alaskans how to fish for over 30 years. He is the award-winning editor of The Alaska Angler Journal and author of Alaska's best-selling fishing books that include, How to catch Alaska's Trophy Sportfish, The Alaska Angler Fishing Annual, Fishing Alaska on Dollars a Day, 20 Great Alaska Fishing Adventures, and How to catch Trophy Halibut. Many of the country's top outdoor writers have called Chris the "foremost authority on Alaska sportfishing".  Don't be fooled by part-time instructors who work elsewhere and dabble in Alaska fishing instruction. Ask them how many years they have fished Alaska, and if they have fished extensively all over the state. Many only have a few photos, and only of a few roadside or popular waters. Their program presentation proves this observation. They offer you textbook fly fishing basics on knots, leaders, and info anyone can pull from a book. They lack the real on-stream expertise you receive from Chris Batin's Alaska Angler seminars. They also have few photos of Alaska fishing destinations. Chris Batin offers you over 500 slides and underwater video footage, visuals that show you where-to-go and how-to-fish these areas because he has been there. Go with a full-time professional who has been instructing Alaskans for over 30 years. Don't be fooled into learning antiquated methods of casting instruction. Our new casting methods and instruction teach you how to cast far easier than traditional methods!
