Crow Pass. At the pass we will see the bright blue glacial hue of Crystal Lake and then a bit further to the massive Raven Glacier viewpoint. Since

Jason’s Guide Service


Directions: see concierge

The rainbow trout is appealing to fish for because they readily bite and put up an aggressive fight. The Kenai River rainbow trout are known for their

massive size and plentiful numbers. The Kenai River rainbow trout is one of the most sought after fish in Kenai, Alaska and anglers appreciate a fly

fishing guide to make their Alaskan fishing adventure complete. Kenai River guides are also well versed in all forms of trout and salmon fishing

using every type of rod/reel combination.

Red (sockeye) salmon, silver (coho) salmon, and other salmon species are all migrating up the Kenai River in Alaska at certain periods during the

season. Find out when the ―run‖ is on for salmon fishing or when the Kenai rainbow trout are biting and book an Alaskan fishing trip with Jason’s

Guide Service.

All gear is provided for anglers to catch some of the hardest fighting and best eating fish that live in Alaska. While many fish make the run up the

river to spawn, it takes a certain skill to locate the perfect spot and use the right technique to ensure success. There will be ample opportunity for

photographs on your Alaskan fishing trip so make sure you have a good camera along that can withstand the elements. Anglers must provide their

own fishing license, lunch or snacks and beverages. Arrangements can be made to provide food and drink for additional cost.
