Hunter is a great guide and we highly recommend him. Caught a lot of Salmon. Enough for dinners while here in Alaska and to ship home. Very satisfied with the help and service we received.

We did a full day salmon charter on the Kasilof River. We caught our limit on sockeye and had a really fun day. Lots of wildlife spotting as well.

Capt. Mark runs trips out of Soldotna aboard a 20' Willie Boats vessel. These waters are known for Salmon and Trout and he will show you how to catch them, regardless of the technique used. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
