Western Wilderness Adventures – Kasilof

Western Wilderness Adventures provides a wide variety of fishing opportunities with respectable and knowledgeable guides. Located on the Kasilof river you will have an experience of a lifetime. The owner Alex Chulick has been guiding for over five years and is quite knowledgeable about drift fishing.

The Kasilof is a drift-only river which means no motors, which provides a relaxing day of fishing without the sounds of motors running. Capt. Alex Chulick has two 20’ Willie drift boats that can accommodate up to four people comfortably and five during the sockeye season.

There are many ways to chase after Salmon so whatever style of fishing you want to try, just let Capt. Alex know in advance what you would like to try, so he can make sure you are well-equipped. If there are questions on what styles of fishing work for each species, please send a message inquiring about it.

At the end of each trip, the Captain will fillet your fish for you and put them into bags so you can transport them back to the processor. If you are looking for processors, ask your captain for his recommendations.

Before your trip make sure you have a valid Alaska fishing license and bring snacks and drinks so you can enjoy the spectacular views of the river on a full stomach. Enjoy your fishing trip with Western Wilderness Adventures!

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.
