Reel in Trophy Rainbow Trout & Salmon on Guided Fishing Trips with Jason's Guide Service

Jason's Guide Service offers professionally guided fishing trips that guarantee the thrill of catching trophy-sized Rainbow Trout and various species of Salmon. With over 20 years of experience guiding along the Kenai River in Alaska, Jason Lesmeister is an expert who tailors each trip to meet the specific needs of his customers.

Living where he guides, Jason spends more than 200 days a year on the water, both professionally and for leisure. His mission is to provide eco-friendly fishing adventures that create lifelong memories while preserving the rivers and lakes for future anglers. Native Rainbow Trout are caught and released, while Dolly Varden and different types of Salmon can be kept for sport or dining purposes.

The fishing trips take place on a 20' Willie drift boat, allowing anglers to have a hands-on experience by fishing from the boat and wading in the productive waters. This environmentally friendly approach ensures a peaceful adventure. Jason can accommodate a maximum of 4 guests on each trip, and his drift boat is equipped with all the necessary navigational and safety equipment for a productive day on the water.

As a year-round guide who lives and fishes in the same area, Jason has up-to-date knowledge of the species that inhabit the river. He knows the optimal times to visit for specific catches. Autumn is ideal for huge Rainbow Trout, while July is perfect for Sockeye Salmon. Jason's expertise extends to Chinook and Coho Salmon, among others.

During your trip, you will be provided with top-quality rods and reels from G-Loomis, Shimano, and Lamson, as well as tackle. The only thing you need to bring is a fishing license. Join Jason's Guide Service and prepare to reel in your dream catch!
