Kenai River Fishing Guide Trips

SALMON FISHING

The Kenai River is a world-renowned destination for salmon anglers around the globe. Known for its healthy runs of sockeye, silver, king, and pink salmon, the Kenai River is the perfect place for anglers of all skill levels to catch fish and have fun! Our expert Kenai River Fishing guides are experienced, friendly, versatile, and able to fish multiple stretches of both the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers which allows us to take you right where the fish are!

RAINBOW TROUT FISHING

The Kenai River is probably the greatest road accessible rainbow trout fishery on the planet. Some rivers have big trout, and some rivers have lots of trout, but none can boast the quantity and quality that the Kenai River exhibits. Our Kenai River Fishing guides allow you to choose either fly or spin gear when targeting Kenai River trout, and while trout fishing can be good anywhere from June to October, this fishery peaks in the fall. I can promise you that once you experience the exciting action of Kenai River trout fishing, you’ll be hooked for life.

SALMON/TROUT COMBO FISHING

What if I told you that you didn’t have to choose? Our salmon/trout combo allow you to experience the thrill of rainbow trout fishing on the Kenai River without missing a day of salmon fishing and putting some meat in the cooler. These trips are very popular because you are able to truly get the best of both worlds, and our Kenai River guides are always sure to make the whole experience extra fun!

HALIBUT AND SALTWATER COMBO FISHING

The saltwater surrounding Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula are some of the most abundant on Earth. We fish out of Ninilchik, Homer, and Seward for halibut, rockfish, lingcod, pacific cod, and salmon, and we’re lucky enough to be located right in the center of all these amazing ports. The cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Kenai Peninsula create prime habitat for anglers to fill their freezer with some of the tastiest fish in the ocean, all the while surrounded by abundant wildlife and stunning scenery.

FLY-OUT FISHING AND BEAR VIEWING

These trips are truly the epitome of the Alaskan experience. A fly out trip combines the thrill of a float plane ride, the tranquility of a remote fishing location, the thrill viewing wildlife in a natural state, the benefit of fishing healthy salmon runs, and the awe of observing mountains, glaciers, and breathtaking scenery all around you. While catching salmon, you’ll be treated with world-class bear viewing that in and of itself is something folks travel the world to see.

SIGHTSEEING ADVENTURES

Whether the famous Kenai Fjords National Park is what you’re looking for, a scenic flight trip, or simply a peaceful float down a local river, we can get you set up with the sightseeing adventure that fits your agenda. Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula is blessed with some of the most scenic vistas in North America, so finding gorgeous scenery to look at isn’t a difficult task at all… Just ask us where to look!

MEET YOUR KENAI RIVER FISHING GUIDE

Mark Wackler established Fishology Alaska after growing up in Soldotna, Alaska on the Kenai River. Being a long-term local means that Mark has special knowledge of all the Kenai Peninsula lodges, guides, services, and their owners & staff. Anyone who has booked through Fishology knows that this intimate knowledge is invaluable when setting guests up with their Kenai River fishing guide and lodging vacations. “I got my first boat when I was 15 years old, and I just started fishing and experimenting on the local rivers, learning a lot and having a blast in the process. When I turned 17 I decided to become a Kenai River fishing guide, and I continued guiding every summer through college as I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Fisheries Sciences and Master’s degree in Science Education. A summer-time job that was supposed to get me through college turned into a seasonal career, small business, and a life-long passion! I now raise my own family (3 great kids) along with my amazing wife in Soldotna, and hope someday my children can realize just how special the place they live is, just as I did many years ago.”
