Since 1998, Auggie Saucedo has been helping anglers navigate the most productive waters in the country. After decades of guiding in the lower 48 states, Auggie brought his passion and expertise to the Last Frontier, founding Auggie’s Guide Service to provide the ultimate Kenai River guided fishing trips. Located in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula, our service is built on a foundation of local hospitality, professional skill, and a deep respect for Alaska’s legendary salmon runs.

A Professional, Family-Friendly Experience

We specialize in Kenai River sockeye salmon fishing and silver salmon fishing in Soldotna, Alaska. Whether you are a veteran angler looking for a trophy or a family seeking Kenai River beginner fishing trips, we tailor every outing to your skill level. As a registered guide who completed the rigorous Kenai River guide college course, Auggie combines technical river knowledge with the high-end service he developed through his local hospitality and construction businesses.

Premium Equipment & Proven Techniques

Success on the water requires the right tools. We provide fully guided salmon fishing on the Kenai River with all gear included, utilizing top-tier rods, reels, and tackle. Our techniques are versatile, adapting to the species and the current conditions:

The Best Gear on the River

You’ll fish from a 2021 2184 Willie Classic, a 21-foot aluminum river boat designed specifically for these waters. Powered by a reliable Yamaha engine with a 30mph cruise speed, we get you to the best fishing holes quickly and safely. With a maximum capacity of four guests, every trip remains intimate and personalized.
