Alaska Fishing with Mark Glassmaker, Inc. operates out of Kasilof, Alaska, offering guided fishing charters and fly-out adventures across the Kenai Peninsula and nearby wilderness. Trips include full-day and half-day options on the Kasilof River and Kenai River targeting sockeye, silver (coho), and king salmon, as well as trout fisheries on the Kenai. Fly-out trips visit Crescent Lake in Lake Clark National Park and Big River Lake for remote sockeye and silver salmon with opportunities for brown and black bear viewing and scenic float plane travel. Anglers can book drift-boat sockeye trips on the Kasilof River with views of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, full-day king salmon drifts, and trout-focused half-day trips aimed at trophy rainbow trout. Seasonality is straightforward: Kenai and Kasilof silver salmon return beginning in late July with peak runs in mid-August through late September; sockeye runs peak mid-June through mid-August; king salmon averages reflect larger, hard-fighting fish. The operation offers both conventional and fly-fishing options and emphasizes private, guided charters suitable for individual anglers and small groups. Gear, safety, and logistics vary by trip type — fly-outs include float plane transport while river trips use drift-boat methods — and guides coordinate permits and local regulations. As a locally based Kasilof outfitter featured on The Adventure Collective, Alaska Fishing with Mark Glassmaker, Inc. focuses on delivering access to prolific salmon and trout fisheries across iconic Alaskan landscapes. Booking details, trip durations, and current regulations are provided at time of reservation and vary by season and fishery.
