We had a fantastic experience fishing with King of the River! Bobby was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, patient, and a lot of fun to spend the day with. He made the whole trip enjoyable and memorable. Christie was also wonderful to work with—her communication was clear, prompt, and super helpful, which made planning everything a breeze. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

We fished two days with Chris and Carson and both were outstanding experiences! First- time fisher mom (me) and my 12 and 14 yo sons. The boys said it was the best couple of days of their lives! Can’t thank them enough for their expertise, care, and fun for my sons and I! We’ll be back!
I had an amazing time on my half-day fishing trip on the Kenai River with Captain Dean, the owner of King of the River. Dean is a fantastic guide—patient, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. He took the time to explain techniques, share his expertise, and make sure the whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish.
Even beyond the fishing, the trip was unforgettable. Cruising the Kenai River, I got to see eagles, seals, and incredible scenery that made the day even more special. Dean’s passion for what he does and his easygoing, gracious personality made the whole trip worth every minute.
I can’t recommend King of the River enough. This was my first Alaskan fishing trip, and thanks to Dean and his deckhand, I left with great memories and knowledge I’ll carry forward. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!
