    Big ass fish!

    Half Day Trip – Sockeye Red Salmon on July 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    My dad and I went out with Jeremy for our trip. My dad was here fishing 37 years ago with his dad so this was a fun trip for him to bring me on. We caught 2 salmon which we enjoyed with my mom and grandma that night for dinner. The booking process was easy and the staff were in communication with us about important updates prior to our date. I would recommend Jeremy and crew.

    Best guides on the Kenai

    Full Day Trip – Sockeye Red Salmon on August 1, 2025

    We’ve fished with Ty and Lucas at ARA every year for about a decade, and they are consistently fantastic. Besides being great guys, they always find the fish. We’ve fished fall rainbows and the late red run and have never had a bad experience. Wouldn’t use anyone else.
