SOCKEYE Fishing With Fishology and Adam…read more Another home run with Fishology. We had so many questions and every one went out of their way to set us up for success. Communication is simply top notch. Highly responsive, quick to tackle anything that may come up. Mark matched us perfectly with Adam and Alicia made sure that we knew where we had to be and how to connect with Adam. Adam is a phenomenal guide. He understood that this was a big day for my wife, her first SOCKEYE fishing experience. We found our spot in a few minutes and quickly learned to the fine art of "flossing". 60 minutes later we had bagged out, three beautiful SOCKEYE each. Heading home for a large Fish Smoke with friends and family. If you are targeting TROUT or SOCKEYE, ask for Adam. He knows the environment intimately, was absolutely superb when it came to working with my wife and had her casting like a 40 year veteran in literally, no time at all. I love his coaching style and how super supportive he continued to be, through our whole fishing trip. On top of that, Adam is one of those fun people you would like too just hangout with. Great communicator, very funny, very easy to get along with. His boat is super clean and very well presented. He asks all the right questions and makes everyone in the party feel like he is there for that individual only. 5 stars mate, great job Adam, Mark and Alicia. KING SALMON Fishing With Fishology and Chase We were scheduled to to go Halibut fishing. The weather turned and that was the end of that. Mark and Alicia jumped into high gear and got us booked with Chase for a KING SALMON guided experience. We had so many questions and every one went out of their way to set us up for success. Communication is always top notch with this crew. Highly responsive, quick to tackle anything that may come up. Casey is one of the hardest working guides I have ever met. He pushed us into the best fishing holes and worked the ores to capitalize on the best spots, in the best holes. He constantly rowed, tended lines, swapped out fresh bait, coached and taught us all about the Kasiloff river and their residents, the gorgeous KING SALMON. The KINGS are diminishing at an alarming rate and all the guides work very hard to preserve these fine fish for generations to come. We caught 3 nice KINGS and two HUGE SOCKEYES. Whatever we were not allowed keep, Chase made sure went back to the river with as little handling and as much care as possible. It makes me so happy to know that there are people like Chase out there, providing incredible experiences yet working that hard to preserve these experiences for future generations. KING SALMON Fishing is a great adventure and I highly, highly recommend the Chase Guided King Salmon adventure. Simply outstanding. Another flawless event presented by Mark, Alicia and Chase. TROUT Fishing With Fishology and Aaron WOW, Mark and Alicia from Fishology are amazing to work with You can "book with the best or go with the rest" We had so many questions and every one went out of their way to set us up for success. Communication is simply top notch. Highly responsive, quick to tackle anything that may come up. Our Trout experience was flawless. Mark set us up with Aaron. Aaron is patient, knowledgeable and was a great instructor for my wife. This was her first trip. We caught so many fish we stopped counting at 20. As an avid fly fisherman, I deeply respected how Aaron handled the fish and was careful to return them to the water unharmed. He explained to us how the fishery is protected and kept us off the spawning beds. This in no way meant any less fun or smaller fish. We have great pictures and wonderful memories of our trout trip, highly recommend Fishology, Mark, Alicia and Aaron.

Very relaxing. We did a day and a half a salmon fishing with them and what a great time! They had everything arranged wonderfully. Great communication! They even process the fish for us and froze it into fillets. Absolutely zero complaints! They were super nice. It looked much better when the beds were made and not stripped! Lol. Nice little place for four people. It was just two this time. Plenty of seasonings and spices. And there was a grill outside! Their dogs were absolutely adorable. This was a lot of fun for kids because there was even a trampoline they let us use. They were super sweet. Easy parking. Really great price. And I would highly recommend this company!

The Kenai River is one of the few places in the world where you can park on the side of the road, grab a rod and hook a fresh fish. The park is near the Soldotna Airport where I was working. It was a quick drive for us to Rotary Park. There is a small parking lot on the lower end that charges $8 to park at. It is a three-quarter mile walk from the parking lot to the stairway. You have to wear waders to cross over to the legal fishing area. The upper end has a 625 foot elevated boardwalk that you can walk across. We fished every night during our stay in Soldotna. The fish count was higher than normal during the summer and was a 5-per-day catch limit for salmon. It was a little crowded at times, but we found a couple of spots to fish and enjoyed our evenings here. There is a fun but serious fishing community here in Soldotna. The only bummer was there was only one small table for cleaning. So I found myself having to cut my fish on the side of the river on the ground. The 2025 summer salmon season saw a record sockeye run on the Kenai River at 4.25 million by mid-August. I was here in July of '25 and we were catching salmon every 10-15 minutes every evening. I filled up a couple of 50 lbs shipping boxes to take back home.

KEEP YOUR TIP DOWN! He was not condescending at all and very patient. He took the time to individually make any adjustment we needed. When the Sockeye started hitting the four of us caught three times as many fish as the other thirty people in the lineup. We were the kings. All eyes on us. On our second day I was really excited to see and hangout with Bill again. It was like fishing with a close friend or that cool uncle we all have. It rained the whole time and I was having so much fun I barely noticed. Once again the fish started slow but finished hard. Bill was running back and forth netting fish. He would even help the other people with different guides when they needed it. Class act. When we got close to our limit we took a break and called in the other Easy Limit Groups. We put them in our spots and they pounded fish too. I really, really enjoyed hanging with the whole crew. Greg, Rich and Kenny are just like Bill. Enjoyed some snickerdoodles from Gregs secret chef and coffee from Bill. We all enjoyed some friendly banter and good conversation. We returned to our spots and limited out quickly. I was almost sad it was time to call it. Every guide and group on the river looks up to the Easy Limit crew. I can see why. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some Easy Limits.

Exceptional Guide and Unforgettable Experience!…read more If you're looking for an Alaska fishing experience, I cannot recommend Kenai River Cowboys highly enough--and if you have the opportunity to fish with Mark, consider yourself incredibly fortunate! I have been on several Alaska fishing charters, and I have never encountered a guide who is more patient, knowledgeable, courteous, and professional than Mark. His expertise on the Kenai River is truly impressive, but what sets him apart is the way he approaches his craft. Mark has the patience of Job! There were moments when we had three fish on simultaneously, and he navigated every situation with remarkable calm, professionalism, and accuracy. He never seemed rattled, even when things got exciting. His ability to manage the boat, the fish, and his clients while maintaining such a positive attitude was exceptional. What impressed me just as much was the respect Mark has for the pristine Kenai River and for the other guides working alongside him. He is courteous and respectful to everyone on the river, and it's obvious that he takes great pride in protecting and honoring the incredible environment he gets to work in every day. After several Alaska fishing charters, I can honestly say that Mark stands out among the best. His knowledge, patience, professionalism, and genuine passion for fishing made our experience absolutely unforgettable. If you're booking a trip with Kenai River Cowboys, I highly recommend requesting Mark as your guide. You won't be disappointed! Five stars all the way!

Dan and I fell in love with Alaska back in 2016 when we went on our first Alaskan cruise. The…read morefollowing year, we did a cruise tour and realized that Alaska has more to offer than just the cruise. So, we always discussed since then to plan an Alaskan vacation that was more land than a cruise. However, the pandemic happened and our vacation plans were on the shelf until this year. We are not avid fishermen. I haven't touched a pole since I was a child but we decided to book a 5 day fishing package with Kenai Riverbend Resort that's located in Soldotna, Alaska. Once I booked with them and they received our payment, they emailed our confirmation as well as travel information, packing instructions and obtaining fishing licenses. Best.DECISION.ever We flew into Anchorage and decided to rent a car to take the scenic drive to Soldotna (roughly 3 hours). The resort is located by the Kenai River and it has been in business for 40+ years by the Cho family. The history of how this business came into fruition is amazing and every American dream for anyone who comes to America. They have a lot of returning visitors. One man shared he's been vacationing at Kenai Riverbend Resort for 20+ years! Talk about great customer service when you hear stories like this. At the resort, you can either rent an RV space, lodge (2 or less) or cabin (4 or more). If you don't have fishing gear, they have the necessary gear to make your fishing excursions successful. Their guides are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and have been with the company for years. Dan and I were upgraded to a cabin next to the river and it was just beautiful. This is glamping at its finest. The cabin had a fridge, microwave, sink, cookware, dishes, hot plate and a gas grill. Dan and I agreed that next time we are here, we are buying a week's worth of groceries instead of dining out. We had 2 halibut fishing excursions at Cook Inlet and Homer as well as 2 silver salmon excursions on the river. Dan and I came prepared with our seabands and motion sickness medication. Our first day on halibut fishing, the guides (Christian and Mason) were super helpful and the remaining group were fun (I was the only female and they all cheered when I got the first catch of the day!). We forgoed the second day of halibut fishing to rest and explore instead. Our third day was an afternoon of silver salmon fishing on the river. While the current flowed fast, the river was smooth. Our guide, Jeremy was helpful and fun as well while we fished. Our fourth day was a morning of silver salmon fishing on the river, which went by quickly because we all caught the max number of salmon (3 per person) for the day. It was cold, rainy and fun! If you're wondering about the fish we caught, the resort will clean, filet, vacuum seal your fish and freeze it all until you check out. You can either have it mailed via FedEx or have them box it for you to travel with. Note: Anchorage International Airport has a storage freezer for your fish if you're planning to stay overnight in Anchorage. ***If you're traveling through Seattle from Anchorage and will be staying overnight...contact your hotel to see if they'll store it in their freezer as the SmartCarte baggage storage does not open until 8am at SeaTac. We took home 70+ lbs of fish. The resort and surrounding area was peaceful, serene and breathtaking. Alaska always brings things back into perspective about life. Keep it simple. Are we returning? Absolutely. Recommend: HIGHLY
