The service offers guided salmon and trout fishing trips led by guide Tyler from May through September. Trips focus on the historic King Salmon fishery and include the Six Hour Guided Service, the Five Hour Guided Service, and the Humpy Creek Adventure. River venues include Anchor, Ninilchik, and Deep Creek, while Humpy Creek trips begin with a scenic water taxi across Kachemak Bay followed by a short hike. The Six Hour Guided Service includes hassle-free processing of the catch at nearby facilities.
Silverfin Guide Service emphasizes experienced local guidance, seasonal expertise, and safe, well-equipped outings. Boats, tackle, and local knowledge are provided to target king salmon, chum salmon, pink salmon, and Dolly Varden trout. Trip durations suit a range of anglers, from half-day five-hour and six-hour options to the full-day eight-hour Humpy Creek Adventure. The Humpy Creek trip combines a water taxi transfer, on-foot access to remote streams, and opportunities for multiple salmon species. Featured on The Adventure Collective, Silverfin Guide Service provides clear trip descriptions, predictable schedules, and direct communication with guide Tyler. Anglers can expect practical logistics including transport to fishing sites, catch processing options for the Six Hour Guided Service, and guidance tailored to seasonal river conditions. Reservations are available for the May–September season.
