I have been obsessed with fishing since I was old enough to hold a fishing rod. My grandfather was an avid fly fisherman and taught me everything he knew. Now I share my love of fishing with my clients on the Kenai River in Alaska!

    Amazing guide! Highly Recommended!

    Full Day Trip

    Nate was absolutely fabulous! We started out fishing for sockeye salmon and Nate was so patient teaching us what do do. We started hooking fish right away and Nate’s enthusiasm matched ours. We hooked lots of fish and Nate was so good at netting them. He was always so excited for us each time we got one. After catching our limit of sockeye he took us out trout fishing and I caught the biggest rainbow of my life on a fly rod! I have been on many guided trips but I have never had a better experience than our day fishing with Nate.

    Reported catch:
    Sockeye Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    Fun, Limits, and Extra Mile!

    Full Day Trip

    We had a blast with Nate. He's really patient, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. The boat and equipment was solid. We caught our limit during a very slow part of the run and then he went the extra mile to get me on a trout! Communication with Nate and Bry was smooth and effortless. If you're looking for a guide who knows their stuff AND is fun to spend an entire day with, this is your guy!

    River fishing trip with Nate Sims

    Half Day Trip

    Nate is an expert on the river. All you have to do is show up and catch fish. Nate knows where to go and what they are biting on. He provided everything for a great fishing trip. He had the whole party on Salmon in great time. Along with Salmon we caught Dolly Varden and trout.Experience is a once in a lifetime trip that can be done every year. I would highly recommend this captain. All fishing supplies and and great attitude and smile make this captain and boat a great experience! Thanks for the great trip on the water!

    Half Day trip with Nate Sims

    Half Day Trip

    We hired Nate Sims for a Half Day trip for Kings and another one of his guides the next day for a half day trip for sockeye. King fishing has been tough and Nate delivered. He knows the Kenai better than anyone and can get on fish if there are there. He runs a professional business, having great gear and was well prepared. He shows up on time and gets you in the water immediately. He is great with conversation and is a true professional. The next morning we fished for sockeye on the Kasiloff and limited out. It was an awesome experience. Nate has us use a different guide for the Kasiloff as he primarily guides the Kenai and we were quite satisfied with the day and Nate's business operation. Save your time, don't book with anyone else but Nate Sims. You won't regret it.
