  • 5Great Guide/Great Guy

    I cant begin to speak highly enough of JJ. I was lucky enough to fish with him along with my 8 year old son and wife (she did not fish). The Boat was badass and huge by Montana standards and he handled like the pro he is. JJ knew where the fish were and put them on us fast. BEST part is how he helped my son catch a ton of huge fish. He let my son cast, drift, hook and land them and helped him be a better fisherman while I fished and mostly watched my son kill it:). He even engaged my wife in friendly conversation and made her feel welcome and included. We all want to go back tomorrow to see our new friend in Cooper Landing. Hes a great dude and I learned from him about many things beyond just fishing. I only hesitate to review him because it could make it harder for me to fish with him. My son says: Amazing guide, he helped me catch some of the biggest fish in my life, which is is not saying much - I'm only eight. he an amazing teacher! Thank you JJ!

  • 5This float very much exceeded our expectations.

    We had an outstanding trip with Matt. We caught Sockeye, Rainbows and Dolly Varden. My father in law, Dennis, and I landed more than 14 fish each and had a few get away but not without a fun fight. Matt was especially accommodating to Dennis’ limited mobility. Even when the other 3 of us fishing did some wading and fishing from the bank, Matt positioned and anchored up so that Dennis wasn’t left out of the action. This outfit has great equipment and knowledge of the Kenai. I’m already Jonesing to go again and hopefully I can go with this guide again.

  • 5Great time on the Kenai!

    We have been fishing with JJ and his team for years, booking multiple days each year. Each year, we typically have someone in our group that has never held a fly rod. JJ does an excellent job helping our first timers with the proper technics and makes sure they catch plenty of fish. I'm looking forward to our next trip with JJ and Brandon.

  • 5Fishing the Canyon

    What an amazing day trout fishing! These guides know where the fish are and how to catch them. Two of us caught and released at least nine fish between 20 and 26 inches; and plenty less than 15. These guides fish top level gear, are professional and very accommodating. I highly recommend fishing with Kenai River Trout Anglers. A special thank you to our guide, Mike! He worked hard for us and loves what he does.

  • 5The best

    JJ took on by far the best trip I’ve ever been on. We took home over 50lbs of sockeye salmon fillets. He’s is so professional yet very/personable. He taught us how to catch them and we hooked into a pile of salmon. While teaching us about the river and Coopers Landing. So amazing

About Soldotna

Soldotna is a small Kenai Peninsula town on the Kenai River, known for its salmon fishing and as the base for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Soldotna stands on the Kenai River in the lowlands of the western Kenai Peninsula, where the Sterling Highway crosses the water on a long bridge. It began as a homesteading settlement after the Second World War and is now the commercial centre of the peninsula, with shops, a hospital and the offices of the borough government. The river here runs wide and cold, a milky turquoise from glacial silt.
