Make unforgettable memories in Soldotna by going fishing with Crazy J’s Guiding. With Captain Josh at the helm, you'll benefit from years of local knowledge and fishing experience.

These waters are home to Salmon and other species, depending on the season and conditions.

Depending on the target species and conditions, you may be wade fishing using the flossing technique. We also offer trolling and fly-fishing trips. All fishing equipment is provided for each trip.

Capt. Josh operates a 20' Alumaweld guide sled that can accommodate up to 4 passengers. The boat is equipped with everything you need for a productive and enjoyable day on the water.

Capt. Josh will provide all rods, reels, and lures.

You may need to purchase a local fishing license before your trip. This information is usually available online, or you can check with the captain. Some species may be subject to seasonal restrictions or require a special tag, so be sure to check the regulations before your trip.

We recommend bringing bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation; however, please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

The fish may get away now and then, but a great day on the water never should. It's time to make some memories with Crazy J’s Guiding!

I was introduced to the sport of fishing at a very young age, having been born and raised in Alaska. I quickly developed a deep passion for fishing and for sharing the experience with others, especially kids and families, and showing them just how amazing the sport can be. In 2018, I became a charter boat captain and fishing guide. Our passion and commitment are to provide a safe, fun, and family-friendly experience for everyone on the water.
