Best fishing on the Kenai
Bring your A game and come prepared to catch fish!! Mark and his team do an amazing job with all things Alaska. Great at communicating schedules, different trips. They truly care about you have a great time!! Whether it is fishing for salmon, trout, or a fly out. This is the company to do that.
Our family had a great two days fishing for Sockeye in July. Mark, Sam, Ian, and Clayton were all great. We had young kids and adults in their 70's, and all were kept safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended.

Hi Ryan, thank you so much for the kind review! It was a pleasure hosting you and your group and we hope to see you again soon! Take care.
Mark, Cindy, and Caleigh put together a fantastic 8 days of fishing for my buddy, Dan, and I. Each day was different with River, Fly-out, and ocean fishing. Their connections to top guilds and air service was top notch and seamless. River-side cabin accommodations were 5-star, and their fish processing/freezing/boxing for our flight back was very professional. I'm sure we will contact Mark the next time we're in Alaska.
Thanks again,
Paul Allen

Amazing Alaskan excursion
Mark and his crew were absolutely amazing! They were fun, professional, engaging, and knowledgeable. I can’t begin to tell you how much we all enjoyed this trip. There were 12 of us on this excursion… And everyone was impressed!
Thank you so much for the amazing memories and fun. I will be back!

Alaska Fishing Experience
This was my third trip to Alaska for fishing, and once again Mark and his team made it an incredible experience! This time we brought 12 people from our company, and they handled our entire group exceptionally well. Everyone was accommodated, everyone was taken care of, and everything was organized from the time we arrived until we left. The accommodations are first class, with great cabins, docks right there, and fishing literally out the back. The guides were outstanding—knowledgeable, hardworking, and some of the best up and down the river. They knew where to go, how to put us on fish, and made sure everyone in our group had a great experience. They also handled processing our fish, which made everything incredibly easy. Mark is really what makes the whole experience special. He takes care of the details, surrounds himself with great people, and genuinely wants everyone to have an amazing trip. Taking care of 12 people on a company trip isn’t easy, but they absolutely delivered. Great fishing, great accommodations, great guides, and an all-around first-class operation. We’ll definitely be back!
Best Alaskan Guide around
Spent 6 days fishing with mark and his team of guides. They are excellent and put us on the fish. He even helped us fly into crescent lake and catch silvers and see bears. A wonderful bonus on top of a great week fishing. Thank you mark - your team does not disappoint. See you next year
Mark and his team put you on the fish!!!
Top notch outfit always putting his clients first.
If you are looking for the ultimate Alaska fishing trip you have found the right place.
He even processes the fish for his clients now!!

Hi Brandon, thank you so much for leaving such a kind review! This picture is awesome. We hope to see you again in the coming years!
Mark Glassmaker and his team are the fish whisperers of the Kenai River. If anyone is catching fish, it will be Mark’s team. If anyone is catching the biggest fish, it will also be Mark’s team. The rest of the river is probably just wondering what Mark knows that they don’t.
We caught hundreds of trout, along with steelhead and silver salmon. At one point, catching fish almost started to feel like work—but it was the kind of overtime nobody complains about!
Mark is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to treat his clients. If you’re a beginner, he’ll have you catching fish like you know what you’re doing. If you’re an expert, prepare to discover that you may not know quite as much as you thought—you’ll still learn something from his techniques.
If you want an unforgettable trip on the Kenai River, book Mark Glassmaker and his team. Bring a camera, a strong casting arm, and enough energy to keep reeling them in!

Mark and his guides gave our group a great experience on the river. Even taught a few first timers all they needed to know for fly fishing and all had a great time. Guides are friendly and give great tips and lessons.

Mark and his team are a good fishing charter. Mark has been able to accommodate us for a Sunday fishing trip on th Kenai River. Logan was our great guide for a morning trip. We leave with memorable souvenirs.

Hi Gaétan! Thank you so much for leaving this kind review. We are happy to hear you had a great experience. Come again!
Mark and his team are without a doubt , the best guided salmon fishing team we have used in the last 6 yrs. We go with them once yearly on our first day of the sockeye fishing trip to Soldotna in mid to late July, so the newbies with us can learn the Kenai Flip and proper fish fighting techniques. Clayton is a very good teacher and very professional in his craft. Eager to answer all our questions based on his great knowledge. The boats are spotless and reliable besides being very comfortable. Cindy does the scheduling etc and is prompt to reply when questions arise. They now offer fish processing so it all handled in-house, smooth and reliable. Planning to fish with them again 7/2027. Highly Recommended.

Hi Roberto, thank you so much for the amazing review! These pictures are awesome and it looks like you had a great time! We're thankful for your continued support and business. Looking forward to seeing you next year!
We’ve been fishing with tours for the past two summers, including a halibut trip out of Homer and five salmon trips on different rivers around Soldotna. This most recent trip, we decided to stay on their property and use their fish processing, and it was AMAZING!
The lodging was clean, comfortable, and tidy, and we absolutely loved the location right on the river. The fish processing was quick, affordable, and incredibly convenient.
Cindy is has great communication to ensure everything goes smoothly.
After multiple trips and experiences with them, we’ve been consistently impressed. 10 stars if I could!
