seriously the best guide. he helped 4 peopel with no experience fishing catch all day long. we walked away saying it was the best tike and we couldn’t have done it without Ron! he made the day so amazing, so productive, and he really knew the best spots for us to have the best luck.
Ron is a great guide - he put us on fish all day! Almost every cast was either a catch or a hard strike. His knowledge and patience makes for a great day of fishing!
Ron knows exactly where the fish are and the kit needed to catch them. At one point we were catching rainbows every cast. Highest recommendation, could not have gone better thanks to Ron!
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.
The captain was friendly and patient with whole family . We caught nine fish, three of which were very large. It was incredible and exceeded our expectations. It was a very special day, and we will always remember that surprising and happy moment. wish we will do it again one day .

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.
