Fishing isn’t just about casting another line – it’s a whole experience, and Crooked Creek Guide Services is here to offer exactly that!

We are located on the Kasilof River. Here you’ll have access to local waters, including some honey-holes that only a local guide can show you. You will enjoy a relaxing and beautiful float down the Kasilof river.

The Kasilof is known for Sockeye Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more – depending on the season with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. Our guides work hard to make sure you have the best and memorable day ever. If this is your first time fishing they will teach you everything you need to know.

Rods, reels, and tackle are supplied.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, we have children and adult sizes available. Feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks.

We fillet, clean and vac pac your fish so you don’t have to find a processor after your trip. We bring you back to our lodge so you can relax as your fish is being processed.

You and anyone fishing with you will need to obtain an Alaska fishing license before the trip. You can usually find that information online, or reach out to the lodging coordinator here.

Lastly, don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions that will help you pack, including what’s available on-site and any essentials you should bring.

Pack your bags and come take a load off, with Crooked Creek Guide Services.

Worth it!
Up to 8 Hour Trip – Kasilof River on July 26, 20262 adults2 children

We had an early start (were asked to meet at 4am instead of 5am) but it was probably worth it to get the best spots. Sockeyes were running and we were able to catch our limit withing an hour or two. Our guide Jeff was reallly good with teaching us how to floss for sockeyes and helping our 4 year old to catch them too. Even though the sockeyes were running at the time we went and could have went on our own, I’m still glad we booked this charter because it gave us the best chance of catching fish. The professional filleting and vacuum sealing also made it so convenient. I think this experience was definitely worth it! Thank you Crookd Creek!

Amazing experience on Kasilof with Crooked Creek
Up to 8 Hour Trip – Kasilof River on June 27, 20262 adults

I communicated with Melanie before my trip through this site and she was great! She was always very quick to respond to my messages, thorough, kept me updated, and relieved my anxiety as a first time salmon Fisherman. Our guide, Jeff, knew exactly where we needed to be and at what time on the river to have the best chance of reaching our sockeye limit. I needed some extra work with the technique and he was really good about helping me when I had questions. We fished the Kasilof late June. This wasn’t the height of the run but the limit just got increased from 3 pp to 6 pp. you could see the salmon swimming upstream right in front of you! We opted to try for kings after quickly reaching our sockeye limit. We didn’t have any luck hooking any since we were at the very end of their run but it was still fun! Saw them jumping! Jeff has been guiding for almost a few decades and is so knowledgeable and patient. You’re definitely in good hands with this operation! I highly recommend them and can’t wait to book them again when visiting!

great guide
Up to 8 Hour Trip – Kasilof River on June 19, 20262 adults1 child

Jeff was great at accommodating my family and making them feel welcome. He took his time to get us on in no time. He is very experienced in what he does and it sure shows. The only bad side was the company charged me more than what was stated. They charged me a 3% for using credit card which was anticipated but the other extra 3% tax was not in the fishing booker site.

Response from Charter operator

Joseph, It was great having you fish with us. Sorry for the extra charge, the app was set up wrong on our end. You were refunded the 3% and the app was corrected. Thank you

The guide, Jeff, was really professional and helpful teaching the (new to me) fishing technique for the Sockeye salmon. The processing of the catch was fast. Melinda was a great help as well with answering my questions. Thanks for the great experience.

Exciting Day On Kasilof River
Up to 8 Hour Trip – Kasilof River on June 16, 20262 adults

Our full day trip on the Kasilof River was lots of fun. Our guide, Seth, put us in position to land king salmon. He worked hard on the oars to keep our boat in the best spots and provided helpful advice. Everything about our trip was great!n
