Scout Lake Adventures
Scout Lake Adventures
There's a fish with your name on it in Kenai and Scout Lake Adventures will help you catch it! Captain Robert will be your guide, giving you access to years of angling experience.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Sockeye Salmon, Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Pink Salmon, Arctic Char, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Dolly Varden, Grayling, and anything else that bites.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Robert also offers fly fishing.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Capt. Robert runs a 21' Willie Boats aluminum fishing vessel that holds up to 8 passengers. It has outriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.
You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Scout lake adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Kenai. So, how about booking that trip? MONDAYS-Only lake fishing

Patrick SparksRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Guide and an Awesome Experience
6 Hour Trip/ Retirement special on August 15, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had an awesome two days with Robert at Scout Lake Adventures! I brought four boys along, and Robert made the experience a blast for all of us. We caught some great silvers, but honestly, the fishing was only part of what made the trip so memorable. Robert’s knowledge, skills, and ability to put us on fish were impressive, and he was genuinely great company the entire time. He was patient with the boys, knew exactly what he was doing, and made both days fun and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a great Alaska fishing experience, I highly recommend Scout Lake Adventures and Robert. We’ll definitely be back!
Kevin WalkerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest guide on the Kenai river!
6 Hour Trip/ Retirement special on July 27, 2026 • 2 adultsWhat an amazing day we had with Bob and his deck hand Corburn.  Not only was Bob a good guide but good fun to be with, told lots of funny stories. Caught some beautiful sockeye salmon and learnt a lot about fishing the Kenai river and the local wildlife. Bob is also a very patient teacher, which is exactly what you need on a six hour trip. Would highly recommend these guys and would do it all again. Thanks guys! 
Rocky SmithRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWhat a great day!
6 Hour Trip/ Retirement special on June 11, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCapt. Bob and deckhand Corbin were amazing! My 12 year old son and I had a blast. This time of year the river fishing isn’t the greatest yet (no surprise) but we adapted and headed to the lake instead, and it was well worth it! Will absolutely recommend fishing with Captain Bob to everyone! You can tell he tries his very best to make it a great day.

Most Awesome Fishing Experience
6 Hour Trip/ Retirement special on August 23, 2026 • 3 adultsHighy reccomend booking with Robert! He was a great host and an even geater captain. We had a mix of beginners and advanced fishers and we had a great time. We were able to catch a decent amount of fish given the captain has 25 years of experience and great stories to share. Don't bring any bananas on the boat and you'll be just fine.
Garry Stulce5.0VerifiedNewVery good charter.

Ben Lakeman5.0VerifiedOutstanding Guide
6 Hour Trip/ Retirement special on July 26, 2025 • 4 adultsOur guide Bob was outstanding. He was very personable and patient. I was really impressed that he took the time to show us how to catch the salmon. We loved the stories about the bananas, he kept on the boat. As an additional plus, we had a very scenic view of the river with mountains in the background. Living the Alaska dream as a family with a very personable guide!!!!!we left the trip with 18 fish and a wonderful memory that myself and my kids will cherish forever!!!!

Great experience and would recommend whether you are new or not. Only thing I think the captain could do better would be ask if you are new, and give some breakdown (teach) of how fishing goes. Since some fishing-terminologies are new, it can be hard to understand. Saw some wild animals while fishing, caught salmons that are in season. It took a while for Silver Salmon, but captain stayed with us a bit longer to help catch more.

Thanks guys it was awesome day on the water and the 🐻 bear @ the end of the day crossing the lake right in front of the boat on the last pass was a gift ❤️🩹good luck with the rest of your alaskan adventures ahead 😎🪝🎣
