Welcome to Alaska Fishing with Mark Glassmaker

Nestled on the spectacular Kenai Peninsula in South Central Alaska, the Kenai River may well be considered the crown jewel of Alaska Fishing. Its emerald green waters are home to some of the most unique runs of salmon found anywhere in Alaska. The king salmon that return to the Kenai River are the largest on earth and eight of the ten largest sport caught kings were taken from the Kenai River. Along with the legendary Alaska king salmon, the Kenai River also hosts robust returns of Alaska sockeye salmon, Alaska silver salmon, and Alaska pink salmon. Mix in Alaska trophy trout fishing, incredible Alaska fly out fishing and excellent Alaska salt water halibut fishing and you can see why many prefer the Kenai Peninsula for their perfect Alaska Fishing experience.

Alaska Fishing Lodge

Kenai King Based just five miles upriver from the town of Soldotna, our location makes the ideal base camp for exploring the many Alaska Fishing opportunities that surround you. Our home and Alaska Fishing lodge is carved into over two acres of prime Kenai River waterfront and adjacent to our home sits two of our four Alaska Fishing Cabins. These individual Alaska Fishing Lodges are the perfect Alaska Fishing "homes away from home." Far from rustic, they are fully furnished with everything you will need to enjoy the perfect Alaska Fishing vacation. In addition to our two riverside cabins, we also have two additional Alaska Fishing Lodges on their own private two acre lot across the street. Each of our four Alaska Fishing Lodges can sleep up to a party of six. All of our Alaska Lodging guests have private access to the Kenai River for sightseeing and fishing.

Alaska Fishing with Freedom

Because the Kenai Peninsula is road connected to Anchorage, accessibility and freedom are key considerations when choosing the Kenai vs. more remote Alaska Fishing locations. While you may not be alone when fishing the Kenai River, you will be able to avoid costly bush flights, weather delays, excessive bugs, rustic lodging, transporting fish from remote locations and a number of other factors that come with traveling and fishing away from the road system. For most Alaska Fishing visitors, the Kenai Peninsula offers the perfect balance of civilization and easy access to spectacular wilderness areas and incredible Alaska Fishing. Saving time and money does not always mean you are compromising quality as Alaska Fishing on the Kenai River and surrounding waters is world class. Combine Alaska fishing the Kenai or Kasilof Rivers with remote fly out fishing and a day of saltwater halibut fishing and you've created the a world class yet highly affordable Alaska Fishing adventure.

Plan your Alaska Fishing Adventure

To begin planning your Alaska Fishing trip, several factors are worth considering. There are a number of key questions to ask when planning any Alaska Fishing adventure. Even if fishing is not your primary goal, researching the best dates for the fishing portion of your Alaska visit can help a lot. Just like planning a fishing trip to any Alaska location, a certain degree of homework and research is required to ensure you are well prepared. It is important to be realistic about your fishing success especially if you are targeting a species like Alaska king salmon. Many uncontrollable factors such as weather, water conditions, run strength and timing are all integral parts of every fishing trip to Alaska.
