Alaska Fin Chasers would love to help you plan a fishing trip on the stunning and productive waters of the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers! Depending on the season, we offer king, sockeye, and silver salmon trips, as well as rainbow trout.

With 14 seasons under his belt, Captain Chase Looney is experienced and prepared to put you on fish. He’s a lifelong fisherman and long time Alaska resident. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more competitive and enthusiastic guide than Chase!

Based on target species and time of year, you’ll be fishing from a 20’ Willie Predator or Willie Drift Boat that can carry up to 5 anglers. We are happy to coordinate larger groups - please send us a message for parties of 6 or more! All gear and tackle is included in your trip price as well as wader & boot rental. If you have your own you are welcome to bring them!

AKFC is happy to take any angler from beginners to professionals! Capt. Chase will share his tips and tricks while teaching you the different fishing techniques. All you need to bring is weather appropriate clothing (think rain gear, layers, & sunglasses!), an Alaska fishing license (can be purchased online or at one of several local outdoor stores on the peninsula), and a positive attitude!

Send us a message to speak with Capt. Chase or a member of the AKFC team to start planning your Alaskan fishing adventure today!

He works hard to support, protect, and conserve Alaska’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy. Chase is dedicated to providing the highest quality experiences for his anglers from novice to expert and everyone in between. He takes pride in supplying top-of-the-line equipment.
