Kenai River Fishing Guide
Welcome to Jason’s
Guide Service
Jason’s Guide Service provides professionally guided fishing trips on the Kenai River for trophy rainbow trout, dolly varden, and sockeye and silver salmon.
We fish the Upper Kenai River and Middle Kenai River down to Soldotna. Jason’s Guide Service is permitted through Alaska State Parks and Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to guide on their lands and waters.
There are many options when it comes to Alaskan fishing adventures, but there are none better than a rainbow trout or salmon fishing adventure with Jason’s Guide Service where the fish don’t start biting until you get there.

We look forward to fishing with you!

Kenai River Fishing Guide
Jason Lesmeister
Jason Lesmeister moved to Alaska at the age of 21 to be a fishing and hunting guide. 30 years later he’s still there and is one of the busiest guides on the Kenai Peninsula.
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.
