Chadwick’s Fishing Guide Service

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!
