We can accomodate large groups 20+ Running angling trips out of Soldotna, Chadwick’s Fishing Guide Service invites you to check out the world-class fishing Alaska has to offer. Hit the Kenai, Kasilof, or Russian Rivers and get your fish on in style! Captain Andrew Chadwick moves his boat depending on the bite, so you'll reach the fishing grounds in no time.

He promises to do whatever is necessary and most productive to catch fish. He caters to spin, fly, and conventional anglers using bait or artificial flies and lures, but you can also try trolling and drift fishing. As part of his 4 to 8-hour trips, he'll take you to target King, Silver, and Sockeye Salmon, along with Rainbow Trout, depending on the season and weather conditions.

Your boat for the day will be a 21' Willie aluminum fishing vessel that fits up to 8 anglers at any one time. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. All you need to do is make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time, and bring sunglasses, rain gear, appropriate clothes, food, drinks, and a camera – and a cooler if possible to transport your fish fillets.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with. You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip, but catch-and-release is preferred for King Salmon.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Chadwick’s Fishing Guide Service!

Andrew really knows his stuff
Private 1/2 day-See description on June 1, 20262 adults

Andrew was a very good captain and guide. He worked very hard to give us every opportunity for success. The ride down the river was beautiful and relaxing. As they saw a poor day fishing is better than a good day at work. We took an early season trip (June 1), so we knew it would be iffy, and we weren't to disappointed that we didn't catch anything. None of the other boats on the river were catching fish either.

Perfect rainbow trout trip
Private full day on August 26, 20244 adults

Targeted rainbows on the Middle Kenai, had virtual nonstop action that included Dolly Varden, pink salmon, king salmon, and a sockeye. Hooked a HUGE king and we quickly cut the line, but we had a good look at it when it surfaced - incredible! Caught rainbows up to about 25,” our guide Aaron was very smooth about unhooking them with minimal contact. Hard to believe there’s a better trout fishery anywhere ! Great time! P.S. Aaron’s dog Fin loves back rubs and accepts tips in the form of ham sandwiches.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
Sockeye Salmon
Coho Salmon
Chinook Salmon

Fantastic Time, Created a New Fisherman
3/4 day private on September 3, 20241 adult

Best time I have ever had fishing! Aaron was an excellent guide and instructor, put me on a variety of fish and taught me a lot about the art of fishing. I went from someone who never really enjoyed fishing to someone who now considers himself a fisherman. I am hooked! I caught my first salmon; 2 Silver/Coho, and several Sockeye. We also got a ton of Dolly Vardens and some gorgeous Rainbow Trout. Just a great day, with a great guy, on a spectacular and iconic river.

Reported catch:
Sockeye Salmon
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
Coho Salmon

We're Andrew and Aaron, lifelong anglers with a passion for chasing salmon, trout, and steelhead. Fishing has been part of our lives since we could walk, and over the years it's grown into more than a hobby — it's become a way of life. During the off-season, we travel around the world exploring fisheries in places throughout South and Central America and Africa, always looking to learn more and experience new waters. Whether you're an experienced angler or picking up a rod for the first time, we love sharing our knowledge and helping people build confidence, skills, and unforgettable memories on the water.
