Seth Koetitz

Member since June 2025 Soldotna, United States
Background
I grew up fishing the Feather River in Northern California, where my passion for the water started at an early age. I moved to Alaska in 2022, and started salmon fishing the beautiful the Kenai Peninsula. I spent several seasons guiding for respected local outfits, gaining hands-on experience and learning the rivers inside and out. Today, I'm proud to run my own guide service—sharing the thrill of Alaska salmon fishing with others, one trip at a time.
Techniques
I enjoy fishing in a relaxed, easy going style thats great for both first-timers and experienced anglers. On the Kasilof River I back troll plugs from the drift boat for king slamon. For sockeye, we use a simple technique using a fly rod, and for silver salmon we fish plugs for an exciting hands on experience. I'll walk you through every step so you feel confident and comfortable on the water.
