Private guided fishing on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers.
The flagship Kenai River experience. Continuous hard-hitting salmon action, filleted table fare, and unmatched runs.
Target monster 24"–30"+ native leopard rainbows and heavy Dolly Varden feeding behind spawning salmon. Pure adrenaline.
No outboards. No crowds. A tranquil drift boat pursuit of aggressive, acrobatic Coho salmon on light tackle and plugs.
We actively monitor official Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G) sonar stations and water conditions daily so you step into the boat with real-time confidence.

Mikey Evans
Owner · Lead Guide · Lifelong Kenai Angler
The Kenai isn't a summer gig for us—it’s home. Raised fishing these legendary braided waters, Mikey Evans founded Kenai River & Company with a simple principle: work harder, treat people right, and give every guest an honest, first-class day in Alaska.
Whether teaching a 10-year-old their first sockeye flip or backing a Willie jet boat down a side chute for trophy wild rainbow trout, you're fishing with someone who respects the river and knows where fish stage when water drops.
"Limited out in under 3 hours"
"Mikey put us right on the run. My two teenage sons had never flipped for sockeye before—Mikey had them dialed into the technique within 15 minutes. We limited out in under 3 hours, had our fish bled, filleted, and bagged on ice before lunch. Top-tier guide, pristine Willie boat, and zero ego."

"Personal best 28-inch leopard rainbow"
"We've guided all over the Rockies, but nothing compares to drifting the Kenai with someone who grew up on this river. Mikey read every seam and boulder. My husband landed a 28-inch leopard rainbow on a bead drift that was the fish of a lifetime. Catch, photograph, clean release. Incredible day."

"Peaceful drift boat silver action"
"If you want a quieter, no-motor experience, book the Kasilof drift with Mikey. We rowed down in pure peace and hammered aggressive Coho on spinners and plugs. Mikey's knowledge of holding water is second to none. He handled every fish with utmost care. Best fishing charter we’ve ever booked in Alaska."
