Our fishing trips are for both veteran and inexperienced anglers looking for the trip of a lifetime.

Alaska Fish On Charters specializes in fishing on the Kenai River and offers other services, too, like bear viewing trips in the great Alaskan outback. If it’s Alaska salmon fishing you want, Gary is the man to see. With more than 30 years of experience, he’s a favorite of both clients and fellow guides. According to the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Gary respects the area’s environment and “provides a safe and positive experience for his clients.”

The Kenai Peninsula has many rivers that have thousands of King (Chinook) salmon entering them every year. Alaskan Kenai River fishing holds 8 out of the top 10 record King salmon in the world, with the world record being 97.4 lbs. It’s common to catch fish weighing between 60 and 80 lbs., with the majority of the fish averaging 30 to 50 lbs. The Kenai King salmon are some of the hardest fighting fish in the world. Plan on fighting one of these massive fish anywhere from a half hour to an hour when in the tidal waters.

An expert in the four species that are common in the Kenai Peninsula (King, Sockeye, Coho, and Pink), Gary has the experience to know which fish are worth keeping and which are starting to turn bad. Alaska Salmon Fishing Guides should familiar with the entire river system, Alaska Fish On Charters! knows where to go when the fishing in one area is not as good as it could be.

It’s more than a business with Gary; it’s a passion. That means he’ll go out of his way to make sure your salmon expedition is as productive as possible. Gary believes that making clients happy will create more clients down the road—and give him more chances to share his love of fishing.

We Take Care of You
Our lodging provides a place for you to process your fish through vacuum sealing and freezing.

They send you to processing plants that will charge you nearly $2 a pound and sometimes you don’t even go home with the fish that you caught. If you spend the time, money, and energy to catch your fish, you want to know that you end up with the one you caught.

We Want to Help
Alaska Fish On Charters will help you with trip ideas, tours, and outings to fill time that you’re not fishing. Many of our clients like to try some fishing on their own, so we supply them with poles and good locations, along with some of our fishing secrets.

We supply buckets, shovels, boots, instructions, and a place to clean, vacuum pack, and freeze the clams.
