Sterling, AK, United States

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 14 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!

Epic Sockeye Day on Kenai
3/4 Day Trip – Private (3MAX) on July 22, 20252 adults
We met Captain Jared mid-morning in July during the sockeye salmon run on the Kenai river. We quickly went out to scout a spot to fish. We looked down river, but Captain Jared thought it was to crowded, so we headed up river. He found a spot tucked in between 2 groups. He taught us how to floss and away we went. We limited out in 2 hours. My wife, who was “dreading” the trip , had an amazing time, easily catching her limit. Captain Jared put us on the fish, and when done, filleted our fish for us to take home. Captain Jared was a great guide, as well as being a great instructor and a very personable guy. If you plan to fish that area of Alaska, give Captain Jared a call. You won’t be disappointed.

CPT Jared was professional, provided great pointers and instrucrion and put us on the fish!
3/4 Day Trip - 12:00 PM on June 28, 20252 adults
The boat launch was a mad house so we shuttled his vehicle to the pullout to avoid the delays caused by the crowded parking area. Once back at the launch we parked a short walk away and gor on the water. Jared provided everything we needed except some snacks and drinks. Once on the water he navigated his drift boat downstream to his preferred spot for the day getting us on the bank first, this was key while we waited for the fish. They came consistently with a short dry spell. Jen caught the first fish and was the first to limit. I wasn't far behind. Jared fileted the fish on site and we drifted and motored our way downstream to the pullout. After recovering his boat he dropped us back at our vehicle and we parted ways with a great experience and about 35 pounds of sockey filets and bellies. Great trip!

Our Capt. Jared was an excellent guide. He was timely and professional. He communicated well with us to ensure we met up and launched on time. The trip was a great and unforgettable experience. Our group was 2-18 year olds, 60 and 70 year old. We could of been a challenge but Capt. Jared handled it with ease. Our catch for the day was 66 pounds of salmon!! Thank you Capt. Jared for the fun, laughter, and hefty plate of salmon. If ever back in the area, you are our guide! We will pass you on to our friends and family.

Awesome day on the Kenai
3/4 Day Trip – Private (3MAX) on July 31, 20253 adults
We had a great time fishing sockeye on the Kenai River with Jared. He had us on fish quickly, and we limited out in no time. Jared was fantastic—knowledgeable, calm, and easy to be around. You can tell he knows the river well and enjoys what he does. Highly recommend booking a trip with him if you're looking for a smooth, productive day on the water.
