A day of fishing couldn’t get any better

Great way to spend a day fishing. Thanks to JJ for booking me on short notice and to Brandon for taking the trip and spending a few minutes reviewing casting with my son. Brandon is a great guide and works hard to put you in the spots to catch fish. He had plenty of fish on the hook and just enough in the net to make this a worth while trip for me. Even saw a nice brown bear at the take out. If you’re looking for a guided trip give these guys a call first. They have all the gear, just bring a lunch and a license and dress for the weather. We’ll be back next year.

As and avid fisherman and 46 year resident of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, I've spent thousands of hours chasing salmon and trophy rainbows on the Kenai River. I highly recommend Kenai River Trout Anglers guide service and in particular, Owen Austin, one of their excellent guides. I had the privilege of fishing a full day with Owen recently and what a day it was! It's fair to say is was the best day of trout fishing I've experience on the Kenai River in many years. Owen knows the river and worked hard to make my day a great success. John A.

You have a lot of options when it comes to picking a guide service for the Kenai. We did a ton of research and you can't beat the price or the guide quality at Kenai River Trout Anglers. Communication from start to finish was excellent and we couldn't have been happier with our guide Owen. He put us on the fish all day and he was just as excited as we were every time we got a fish on the hook. These guys are passionate about what they do and it shows. Highly recommended!
A perfect 10!

AMAZING! Captain JJ answered all my questions before we arrived very promptly. Brandon was an amazing guide and very patient with me! We caught so many fish. Four rainbow trout over 20 inches. We will be back!

Excellent experience. Our guide Brandon kept us on fish all day even with the onslaught of reds in the system. Outstanding work! Please keep them in mind when booking your trip. Would give them a 10 rating if we could.

Most fish I ever caught in a day! Our guide Brandon was amazing — knowledgeable, experienced and super pleasant. We had a beautiful day to float down the kenai river from sportsman landing to Jim’s landing .. not a long distance but chock full of fish. Leopard redband rainbows, golden rainbows, Dolly Varden — all of them were huge and hungry. Brandon, knew the sweet spots and the exact type of lure to use. We had four people in our boat and had three fish on at once several times. We stopped counting how many we were bringing in after a while it was so many. We all highly recommend this outfitter!
Great trip with Owen

Had a great full day trip with Owen and his boat dog Buck. Owen is a great guide, and his care for the fish, the river ecosystem, and his clients' enjoyment was clear. We were busy catching fish all day and in between fishing, Owen kept us busy with good conversation. This was a great trip, and as an experienced fly fisherman, I would highly recommend this trip with Owen.

JJ is an amazing guide! He is very knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. We caught a crazy amount of salmon. He did a great job teaching us how to catch the fish. He was very patient and attentive. I would highly recommend his company and any of the guides that work with him. We felt like we started as clients and quickly became friends.
Owen was very kind and...

Owen was very kind and helpful to us older (early 70s) fisher people. He especially helped my wife. He had some good stories and brought his your lab with in the boat and the dog behaved just fine. The salmon were running heavy closer to Kenai and Soldotna but we caught some. It's all about timing. He offered to let us fish for rainbow trout, but we were only interested in the salmon. Fun experience.
Our favorite part of our trip!

This was our first trip to Alaska and we had several different fishing trips planned. Our very favorite experience was our day spent fishing for sockeye with Owen. Owen was the perfect guide for us. We were bumbling novices and he worked super hard to make sure we had a great day and brought home fish. He was super kind and knowledgeable and it is obvious he loves what he does. We would love to see him again and spend another day fishing with him and his dog Buck. Thank you! Tim and Jennifer
