    gorgeous fishing trip

    Half Day Trip – Salmon • 4 adults

    We loved our time out on the Kenai. Our guide Henry was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Our experience was easy to book and finalize. The breathtaking scenery was an experience in and of itself. We caught 10 fish during our half day trip…unfortunately had to release all of them, but still a great experience overall.

    Reported catch:
    Sockeye Salmon
    Dolly Varden
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    Thank you Heather. Henry had a great time with you on the Kenai River!

    This is the “reel” deal!!!

    Full Day Trip – Trout • 3 adults

    Jason had the patience, teaching knack and experience to put my wife and two adult daughters on fish all day. And they had minimal experience and had never been in a drift boat before. Don’t question it, book it!

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Dolly Varden

    Our first trip to Alaska Jason's Guide Service gave us the fishing trip of a lifetime. Four of us husbands and our wife's who have never fished were up and running in no time catching our limits of Sockeye Salmon. Our guide for the day, Joe, was great assisting our wives with the technics required for them to have a blast. We all highly recommend this fishing trip to anyone of any age a skill level if you want to have a great time with a professional Guide Service.

    My family and I had a wonderful day on the Kenai River with Jason. He was an amazing guide who went above and beyond to make our trip special. He took the time to teach my son how to fly fish, and shared helpful tips with both me and my husband. Not only did he get us onto some fish, but he made the whole experience fun and memorable. We truly enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a great fishing adventure on the Kenai.

    I was able to catch the largest Rainbow Trout of life (and I'm 68 years old and have been flyfishing since I was 14). We had a great day, lots of large trout and dollies. And the wildlife views were fantastic.

What's biting with Jason’s Guide Service in Cooper Landing

This is the beginning of the ice fishing season. Winter months are also a great chance to book a trip to northern Alaska to see the aurora borealis.
