Jared Lindquist, born and raised in Moose Pass, Alaska has been fishing the Kenai Peninsula ever since he could wet a line. He grew up with the Kenai River and other tributaries right in his back yard, which made it easy for him to develop the skills of an avid fisherman and become a fishing guide. At a young age he was hooked and acquired a lifelong hobby and as the saying goes 'has fish blood running through his veins. Not only is he extremely passionate for the sport and the fish that are in this paradise, but he is young, hungry and competitive. It is the unpredictable that keeps him striving to be the best possible fisherman, guide, and outdoor enthusiast he can be. Throughout his 30 years in Alaska, he has been fishing the renowned waters of the Kenai Peninsula as well as the hidden secret spots that only the true locals know about. There is never a day in the season Jared cant find some fish. Every day is a different experience and Jared will accommodate clients from all backgrounds. Whether it be your first day ever fishing or your thousandth day on the water, every client will be treated with respect, a positive attitude and enthusiasm!

Great day on the kenai
3/4 Day Trip - 12:00 PM on July 29, 2026 • 2 adults
Capt Jared was great. He switched meeting location right before our trip to get on a part of the river that had more fish, but communication was great so that was not a issue at all. We met at new location he got us geared up and into the boat the weather was perfect and we had a beautiful boat ride to our spot. he explained the technique and was very patient and helpful all trip. My wife must have listened better then me because she was the first to get a sockeye and also her limit. Being on the Kenai with my wife watching her get so excited about catching fish along with the weather and views of the river and mountains made for a memory we will never forget. Thank You Jared.

Great Introduction to Salmon Fishing
Half Day Trip – Shared (AM) on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults
We came to Alaska with one goal in mind — to fish for salmon — and booking with Jared for our first day was absolutely the best decision we made! Jared took the time to teach us the flossing technique, explain what to do when our lines got tight, and make sure we understood the process. We arrived early in the season for this year’s run, but thanks to Jared’s guidance, we were able to hook into some fish and take our new knowledge with us to successfully fish the following four days. Jared was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. He went far beyond simply being a charter guide — he truly cared about helping us have the best experience possible. Thank you, Jared, for an unforgettable trip! We hope to bring our brother with us next year and have the opportunity to fish with you again.

Best fishing trip ever!
3/4 Day Trip on August 19, 2026 • 2 adults
Everyone in the boat limited on Silver Salmon in just a few hours!! We were inexperienced but Captain Jared did an awesome job of sharing his skills, experience and his knowledge with us. Even though his chosen spot for the morning was already occupied by five other boats, with his expertise and patience all four of us limited out in just a few hours! When our morning was dine, there were still five other boats there. We would absolutely recommend Captain Jared to anyone. It was a great experience and when we come back to visit we will definitely book another trip.

Captain Jared is fabulous. He pushes himself very hard to give all guests the best possible Alaska fishing experience.
3/4 Day Trip on July 21, 2026 • 2 adults
In spite of the low numbers of sockeye current present in the Kenai Jared selected his very best hot spots and continuously helped all four people fishing to get bumps, hook-ups and catches as much as possible. My husband and I got 3 sockeyes each for a total of 6 and loss several more. We saw virtually no one in the 3-5 other boats that went out at the same time and to nearby locations get as many per person. Best of all Jared is a fantastic person and guide that makes every moment memorable. Can’t wait to go out again multiple times with Jared next time we are in Soldotna.

Fishing trip in the Kasilof river with a toddler.
3/4 Day Trip on June 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child
My husband, my two-year-old toddler, and I had the best time fishing with Jared! He was incredibly patient and accommodating with our toddler, which made the experience enjoyable and stress-free for our whole family. Jared was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure we had a successful day on the water. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to catch several sockeye salmon and create memories we’ll be talking about for years. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing guide who truly cares about his clients, we highly recommend Jared!
