If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in Soldotna, we've got you covered with Kenai Coldwater Fishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Seth can tell you all about the local fishery.

Fishing both the Kenai and Kasilof you will often see him targeting Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and more, depending on when you go. You can expect to do some fishing with heavy tackle, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Don't forget to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your adventure begins aboard a 21' Willie fishing boat that can carry up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, waders and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Bait is available when regulations allow.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring bottled water, snacks, sunglasses, warm socks and rain gear. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

We will deliver you back to your vehicle after the trip!

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Kenai Coldwater Fishing!

Great Captain
Full Day Trip on May 28, 20263 adults
The all day trip we were not sure if we would catch anything. The first line thrown in he had a fish on his hook before he got it in his holder. That set the tone for the rest of the day. We had fun, we caught fish and shared life stories with Seth. The day could not have been any better from a fisherman's view.
Reported catch:
Sockeye Salmon

Hooked on Adventure
Half Day Trip AM on June 19, 20251 adult
It was the perfect day for fishing! I was amazed with all the various birds we saw as Captain Seth navigated the waters and would pause for pictures and describe what type they were. I saw more eagles in one day than I have in a lifetime! Captain Seth was very courteous and respectful, helping this grandma in and out of the boat and water, teaching me how to fish for salmon, a first for me. I just enjoyed my catch of the day for dinner and am reflecting on what a beautiful day it was. I didn’t even have to clean the fish, and all the gear was provided, including waders! I highly recommend booking a fishing adventure with Captain Seth, the only thing I would change is making it a longer day.

Thank you for the review! Next time we’ll have to book the full day instead of the half-day! I hope to see you back on the river soon!

Seth is an extremely knowledgeable man about fishing the river, fishing, and how it all works. If I get a chance, I'll be back next year. Seth is my Captain for life.

Amazing Trip with Captain Seth!
Half Day Trip - 2:30 PM on July 8, 20252 adults
Captain Seth was a great fishing guide for our day on the water to catch salmon. Not only was he knowledgeable and caring, but he took the time to take us to areas of the river where other wildlife can be found (we saw over 50 bald eagles!). Oh - and we also caught our limit of salmon. My wife and I had a great time with Captain Seth. I would highly recommend you book your trip with him. It's a great day on the water in a beautiful setting.
