“If anyone knows about fishing in Alaska, it’s Alaska Fish on Charters! Gary has been catching fish for himself and others in the waters of the last frontier for over 42 years. His concern and dedication to the fishing community makes him well liked by both clients and fellow guides. He will do his best to see that you have an enjoyable experience.”
“To the angler it may concern, I have known Gary Kernan of Alaska Fish on Charters for the past four seasons while maintaining a professional working relationship, which I value. Gary voluntarily provides valuable fishery information and insight about the performance of sport fisheries in the Kenai River to me on a real time basis during the fishing season. I respect Gary’s ability to succinctly summarize the in-river fishery conditions while deployed on the Kenai River. I have relied upon Gary for truthful observations and insight in the fisheries management decision making process. Gary is very cooperative in nature and goes out of his way to assist managing agencies. He is a pleasure to work with and his clients always seem to have a smile on their face when I drop by his boat.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to fish with Alaska Fish on Charters! a professional fishing guide service on the Kenai River in Alaska. Gary is a knowledgeable and dedicated guide with a dual mission; not only instruct his clients no matter what their experience, but to get the clients’ fish! Kernan’s love of fishing began early in his life and of course he moved on from catching fish himself to helping others catch fish. ‘From the look on their face when they catch a big one, you know they’re hooked for life,’ stated Kernan.
His high energy level is matched with a focus on catching fish. However, when the fish is hooked, Kernan’s approach changes. Patient instruction and positive encouragement is provided for the angler as Kernan coaches him up to the point of landing the fish.
Having fished with many guides throughout the country, I highly recommend Gary Kernan’s Alaska Fish on Charters. An experience of a lifetime awaits. Don’t hesitate to contact Kernan early to guarantee he has a spot available for you.”
