A Little about your Kenai River Guide
I grew up on the Mad River in Northern California in the 1960's a small town named Blue Lake. My Dads work took us up into Oregon in 1965 to Medford , where I grew up Salmon Fishing on the upper Rogue River. I worked nights in High School at a plywood mill to get my first boat and truck, and worked with some of the greatest fishermen of the time, they took me under their wing and taught me the art of bouncing bait, this was a new thing then and yes I had to row the drift boat, many thanks to Merl Lee, Mel Morgan, Duane and his Dad Bill Phaff, and my long time school bud George E. Scott (Whip) who really hooked me on plug fishing. That's were I met Willie from Alumaweld Boats,
now Willie Boats, Willie took me under his wing on more than one occasion and showed me the
in and out's of rowing that special drift boat, needless to say its been a runaway ever since.
My work as a young Piping Designer took me to Alaska where I ended up at Prudhoe Bay, with two weeks a month off to explore the Alaska King Salmon Rivers, I found the Kenai River, in 1981 and have fished there every summer since with my partner and best friend Mike Kelly (the Fish Reaper)
also a veteran of this pristine water of 26 yrs. and some of the best Alaska King Salmon Fishing anywhere. Every year we treat our clients to some of the finest Alaska King Salmon Fishing anywhere, we use only the finest
fishing boats in the business the Willie Boat Sleds, along with the best tackleavailable from Loomis, Shamino, and Lure Jensen in the fleet, and then some. Over the years we as Kenai River Guides have learned the
in and out's of this fishery and what it has to offer, we'll catch plenty of fish in the 50# to 70# King Salmon every year.
Yes I remember how it use to be, I remember the way Grandpa showed me how to rig my rod, watch my speed & keep a close eye out, and Dad telling me stories about his Grandpa telling him about the veins in the water, and how the salmon use the currents moving up the river. I do remember them all because it's been away of life in our family for over 100 years
I am offering you a opportunity to let me show you my skills right down to calling the taxidermist! I'm looking forward seeing you all this summer in Alaska in "the Land of the Midnight Sun", you cant beat a deal like that! Give me a call, and I'll help you with any Alaska Information, Alaska Travel Information, or Alaska Lodging
, There's salmon fishing, and then there is salmon fishing,
and then there's fishing with the Boss.
