Peninsula Sportfishing – Kenai and Kasilof

Visit the stunning Alaskan waters on the Kenai Peninsula, and enjoy a day of fishing with Peninsula Sportfishing. A local and professional guide, Guide Jared Lindquist has over 20 years of fishing experience in the area, and 13 years of guiding. He welcomes all types of anglers, and he’ll make sure you have an amazing day on the water with his knowledge and expertise of the area.

Depending on time of year,
Jared will take you out on one of his 3 boats. Either a 20.5 ft alumaweld supervee prop powered boat, a 20ft willie drift boat, or an 18ft chandler jet powered boat. All perfect for fishing the waters of the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. Boats are equipped with life jackets and all safety gear required by the Coast Guard.

The waters are very prolific, and they hold some of the biggest trout and salmon in North America. Depending on the time of year, you could be fishing for 4 out of the 5 Salmon species – King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and Pink Salmon! Monster Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden fishing are a favorite as well. Based on the captain's recommendation, you will fish on either Kenai or Kasilof River.

Your guide will provide you with all the fishing equipment necessary to give you the best chances at every species on the river – the highest quality in rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Jared runs all types of rods to fit every skill level or preference. It doesn't matter if you conventional, spin or fly fish, he will have you covered for a variety of techniques.

At the end of the trip, Jared will clean and fillet your catch for you, so you can take it straight to the table upon your return home. Feel free to bring your kids along and show them how fun fishing can be, making some great memories. All you have to do is buy a fishing license before the trip, bring some rain gear, food, and drinks, and you’re all set!

Join Peninsula Sportfishing and let them show you a great time fishing on the Alaskan Kenai and Kasilof River!

Member since January 2020
Jared Lindquist, born and raised in Moose Pass, Alaska has been fishing the Kenai Peninsula ever since he could wet a line. He grew up with the Kenai River and other tributaries right in his back yard, which made it easy for him to develop the skills of an avid fisherman and become a fishing guide. At a young age he was hooked and acquired a lifelong hobby and as the saying goes "has fish blood running through his veins. Not only is he extremely passionate for the sport and the fish that are in this paradise, but he is young, hungry and competitive. It is the unpredictable that keeps him striving to be the best possible fisherman, guide, and outdoor enthusiast he can be. Throughout his 30 years in Alaska, he has been fishing the renowned waters of the Kenai Peninsula as well as the hidden secret spots that only the true locals know about. There is never a day in the season Jared cant find some fish. Every day is a different experience and Jared will accommodate clients from all backgrounds. Whether it be your first day ever fishing or your thousandth day on the water, every client will be treated with respect, a positive attitude and enthusiasm!
