Peninsula Sportfishing – Kasilof River

Join Peninsula Sportfishing and let them take you out to the amazing waters of the Kasilof River on the Kenai Peninsula. Your guide will be Jared Lindquist. With over 20 years of experience fishing in the area, and 8 years of guiding, you can be confident in his ability to take you to the fish and help you reel in some trophies.

You’ll be fishing aboard his 20’ Willie drift boat, that can take out up to 4 anglers. This is the perfect boat to go drift fishing these waters with a couple of friends or your family. You’ll have an icebox for your catch on board, and the boat is equipped with life jackets and all safety gear required by the Coast Guard.

The Kasilof River is as prolific as it is stunning, and there’s a variety of fish species you can target here. Jared will put you on the bite of species like King, Silver, Sockeye, and Pink, Rainbow Trout, and Dolly Varden.

All the fishing equipment will be provided on board, including G-Loomis, St Croix, and Cast King rods, reel, and tackle. There’s fly fishing equipment as well, if you want to test your luck and have more of an adventure. You’ll test out different techniques, so you’re sure to take home some big specimens.

Your guide will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home and taste after a fun-filled day of fishing. Kids are welcome to join in, so bring them along with you and teach them all about the joys of fishing. Make sure to bring a fishing license, as well as some rain gear, food and drinks, and come have some fun!

Explore the wonderful nature of Alaska by heading out with Peninsula Sportfishing and enjoying a day of fishing!

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!
