Full Day Trip – King Salmon (Early) on June 22, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I booked Alex on June 22nd. Floated the Kasilof 8 hour trip. Limit on Sockeye hooked a King but did not boat it. We had a super time! Alex is knowledgeable and very personable, his knowledge of the river and fish are on another level. He coached my wife up on technique that she outfished me and she does not normally fish. Oh! and his custom boat is very impressive. Alex is The Guy! Book him! Coming back for the Silvers in the fall sometime. Thanks again Alex! - Mitchell and Kay

Full Day Trip – Sockeye Salmon on July 3, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 childrenFamily of 6, including two kids, hit our limits on the Kasilof. Alex and Dallas did a great job putting us on fish early and teaching my daughters how to fish, they’re great guides. They even made us breakfast and coffee.
Alex Briney•California, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedBeautiful day on the water!!
Full Day Trip – King Salmon (Prime) on July 17, 2024 • 8 adultsOur whole group had a wonderful day for the most part out on the water with Alex and Trent. As guides they are super knowledgeable and their equipment was in great shape. Alex’s dad gave us the grand tour of there beautiful lodge while they filleted our fish. As a group we limited out in hour which was nice. Would I recommend them? Yes, I would.

Early King/Sockeye Combo Trip on June 18, 2024 • 2 adultsOur guide Trent did a great job putting us right on the fish. We had a great time fly fishing for sockeye and caught our quota in less than two hours. I would highly recommend this company as well as Trent as a guide to anyone looking to catch salmon and have a great time doing it.
Cameron MackenzieRepeat angler•Connecticut, US•Member since 20216 trips5.0VerifiedNewAmazing Morning on the Kasilof
Full Day Trip – Coho Salmon (Prime) on September 10, 2026 • 2 adultsThree of us met Capt Alex at a boat launch and we climbed aboard a well-appointed drift boat before dawn. Capt Alex really knows the Kasilof River and also the habits of silver salmon. We limited out on silver salmon after a few hours and also caught and released a large steelhead. The equipment, drift boat, local knowledge and the right technique for silver salmon made for a great morning of fishing.

I started off my career as a deckhand but quickly fell in love with river fishing. I fish on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers as a drift boat guide and power boat guide as well. My favorite part about guiding is getting people their first salmon ever and making memories.
