Incredible service!
1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye P.M. on July 16, 20262 adults1 child

It was a cold and raining day. But Ron put a high light to our entire trip to Alaska. The bites are not bad, I had my PB rainbow and first freshwater sockeye. The view was astonishing as well. Ron kept the entire tour interesting in both fishing part and drifting part. Easily one of the best fishing tours I have ever booked.

Dillon was an amazing guide
1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye A.M. on July 20, 20262 adults

Dillion did a great job putting us in spots where we caught fish even when other groups were unable to. He was very knowledgeable about where to fish and the area around the river. On our trip day we caught multiple rainbows and a dolly.

Captain Ron was born and raised in Alaska and started fishing the Kenai River over 40 years ago. In his experience, a smaller boat and limited group size allow for more attentive service and more fish in the boat at the end of the day. Join their small father/son guided fishing operation on the famed Kenai River and make memories for a lifetime.
