The Ultimate Alaskan Fishing Adventure. Now Booking for 2025.

We kicked off the season in mid-May with excellent saltwater king salmon and halibut fishing, offering memorable opportunities on the water. In June, the Kenai River came alive with fantastic trout fishing, while sockeye season started earlier than usual due to regulation changes that increased limits. The near-record number of returning sockeye made for an exceptional July and early August, with guests enjoying daily limits and unforgettable fishing. Rainbow trout fishing remained steady throughout the summer, providing consistent action for anglers.

August brought in the silvers, aka coho salmon. The numbers were lower than expected, prompting regulation changes, but 2024 was also a "humpy" (pink salmon) year so they added plenty of fish into the river to maintain the excitement level.

Our saltwater fleet, including the 28' "Reel Quick" captained by veteran guide Adam Reed, and the "Shooter Again," performed exceptionally well. Both boats delivered fantastic halibut catches in Homer’s waters throughout May and June. We are already looking ahead to 2025 and expanding the opportunities to give our guests even more ways to experience Alaska's incredible saltwater fishing.

We cannot express enough gratitude to our loyal guests—both new and returning. Once again, we were thrilled to welcome a high percentage of returning clients, and we were especially excited to reconnect with guests who hadn’t been back in 5 to 10 years. These relationships are at the heart of what makes Big Sky special, and we treasure the memories and connections we build each season.

Lastly, as we look ahead, we want to emphasize our commitment to flexibility and service. Whether adapting to sudden changes in fishing regulations or weather conditions, we always go the extra mile to accommodate the schedules and needs of our guests. We’re excited for what 2025 has in store and look forward to another unforgettable season on the water.
