Customer feedback for our Kenai River Fishing Guides

Amazing trip, my partner and I have zero fishing experience, but have walked away filling our limits and feeling great about the experience. Taylor was a fantastic guide and can not recommend this company enough. X

Taylor put all of us on tons of Sockeye salmon! We hooked a couple of Kings too. Our group caught more fish than we had ever caught in our life! I can’t wait to go back! Thanks Taylor!

Having fished with Taylor for 13 years on the Kenai peninsula (and having fished the Kenai since the 1970’s) there is no one more knowledgeable, experienced and hard working to make your experience first rate. He has top of line equipment that is well maintained and will teach you how to use it to ensure great success. I continue to look forward to fishing with him every year!

Super easy to get to, right in the town of Kenai. Taylor was an excellent fishing guide, taking us to beaver hole, right near the launch site. 5-10min after leaving the dock, we were fishing for King Salmon (middle of July). We caught our first King within 15 minutes after staring. Everyone on the boat caught our limit of King Salmon. Taylor had an excellent boat, with nice fishing gear. He was fully prepared and knowledgeable. After getting back to the dock, he took cleaned and filleted the salmon we caught. One of the best fishing trips we have every been on. The boat dock is less than 10 minutes from the airport (our hotel is near there). So it was a super easy and close to town. We booked a half day trip, were on the water at 6am, and had caught our limit before 10am.

2022 Year in Review

As Kenai River fishing guides, we love looking back at our Alaska salmon fishing season each year! January rolls around and the Kenai is constantly on our minds, planning another year of guiding adventures.

“We love to be on the river in May and June. With the weather starting to warm up and the salmon starting their runs, it really comes to life. King fishing really picks up in June as more and more fish make their way up the rivers. Catching a King Salmon is an amazing way to wet the line for the first fish of the season.”

Cannot recommend this company enough. Taylor was amazing. He went above an beyond to make the day memorable. So much so that he carried our baby on his shoulders while netting the fish. Wonderful guy and his knowledge and personable company made for a great day. Thank you so much. We will be back!

We had an awesome trip out with Capt. Cole! Taylor was super communicative and easy to book our trip with. Cole was knowledgeable and helped us all catch our limit out on the river. He was great at explaining the casting method and made sure to help us all, especially our 8 yr old. We’d definitely recommend booking a trip with them, especially if you don’t have experience!

Tyler took us out on the Lower Kenai River for Red Salmon August 13th 14th 2021 mornings. He gave great instruction on how to catch them and all 3 of us limited out with 6 large fish each on both mornings. Tyler cut the filets for us weighing in at 48 lbs first day and 46 lbs day two. That’s over 90 lbs of fresh Red Salmon filets for the table. Thanks Tyler from all of us we had a great time!!!

Questions? Give us a call!

Please remember our Kenai and Kasilof river fishing season in Alaska is short and space is limited!

Cancellations to a reservation/s must be made 30 days prior to initial trip date for a full refund. Any cancellations made within 30-days of the trip date are subject to a 50% refund. Any cancellations made 48-hours prior to the trip date are subject to no refund and no future credit.

We will try to accommodate alterations (non-cancelling) to a reservation the best we can but typically have full books by the start of the season. This leaves us very limited availability for changes, especially during July, our busiest month.
