Jason Simmons
Experience the pinnacle of Alaskan angling with Alaska Salmon Guides, led by the veteran expertise of Jason Simmons. Originally hailing from Utah, Jason moved to the Last Frontier over two decades ago and immediately found his calling in the pristine wilderness of the North. After honing his craft with premier outfits, he established his own venture to provide a more personalized touch. Today, with 20 years of experience at the helm, he offers a premier Kenai River Alaska fishing charter that prioritizes both professional skill and a deep-seated passion for the sport.
What truly distinguishes Jason from other fishing guides on the Kenai River is his unwavering commitment to the guest experience. For Jason, the ultimate reward isn't just the catch—it’s the genuine smiles and the look of awe on his clients' faces when they hook into a legendary fish. He approaches every outing with 100% effort, combining a friendly, organized demeanor with a level of patience that makes him an exceptional teacher for novices and seasoned anglers alike.
The local waters are nothing short of legendary, offering a world-class environment that is unmatched globally. Our guided salmon fishing Kenai Alaska excursions take you through the heart of a diverse ecosystem teeming with life. Whether you are targeting the iconic King Salmon or the hard-fighting Silver Salmon, you are fishing in an area famous for its massive runs and unspoiled natural beauty. It is this unique combination of abundant species and breathtaking scenery that makes the Kenai Peninsula a bucket-list destination for every fisherman.
Beyond the thrill of the hunt, we offer a comprehensive Kenai River scenic fishing and wildlife tour that showcases the majesty of the Alaskan outdoors. You’ll drift along the Kenai and Kasilof rivers in a state-of-the-art 20-foot 2020 Willie Drift Boat, designed specifically for these waters. With a maximum capacity of four guests, these Kenai Peninsula fishing trips ensure an intimate and quiet journey, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sights of local wildlife while navigating the river's most productive holes.
While we handle the technical side of the trip, guests are encouraged to bring their favorite snacks and drinks to enjoy during the day. By the time you return to the docks, you won’t just leave with memories of a fun trip—you’ll leave as a more skilled angler, having learned from one of the most talented guides in the region.
