We had a blast catching and releasing rainbow trout with Jared. He is a professional with personality, a great guide and teacher who knows the location of every tree stump and rock on the Kenia River. This trip is good for young, old, experienced and beginner. Booking with Jared will assure a great trip for all.

We met Captain Jared mid-morning in July during the sockeye salmon run on the Kenai river. We quickly went out to scout a spot to fish. We looked down river, but Captain Jared thought it was to crowded, so we headed up river. He found a spot tucked in between 2 groups. He taught us how to floss and away we went. We limited out in 2 hours. My wife, who was “dreading” the trip , had an amazing time, easily catching her limit. Captain Jared put us on the fish, and when done, filleted our fish for us to take home. Captain Jared was a great guide, as well as being a great instructor and a very personable guy. If you plan to fish that area of Alaska, give Captain Jared a call. You won’t be disappointed.

The boat launch was a mad house so we shuttled his vehicle to the pullout to avoid the delays caused by the crowded parking area.  Once back at the launch we parked a short walk away and gor on the water.  Jared provided everything we needed except some snacks and drinks.  Once on the water he navigated his drift boat downstream to his preferred spot for the day getting us on the bank first, this was key while we waited for the fish.  They came consistently with a short dry spell.  Jen caught the first fish and was the first to limit.  I wasn’t far behind.  Jared fileted the fish on site and we drifted and motored our way downstream to the pullout.  After recovering his boat he dropped us back at our vehicle and we parted ways with a great experience and about 35 pounds of sockey filets and bellies.  Great trip!

We were fishing a little early in the season and the water levels were low, but Jared and Ben worked so hard and made it an excellent trip. They navigated a lower river well, and we caught fish. They were knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely go with them again.
