When we looked at coming up to Alaska to experience the Last Frontier and Kenai Peninsula, Big Sky Charter & Fishcamp stood out to us. Joe was the only person that personally called and we had such a great conversation. We have made a lifetime of experiences and cannot thank Ella and her team enough. The guides made each day so special and fun. To end each day overlooking the Kenai River and meeting the other guests at camp was truly special and it is evident that family and friendships are at the top of Big Sky’s list. We went in looking to experience Alaska and came out with a group of people we now call friends!

“Big Sky: A Place Where Family Memories Are Made”
I’ve had the privilege of visiting Big Sky twice now, and each trip has been nothing short of spectacular. In 2022, I brought my two sons, and we had an epic time—limits of sockeye were the daily rule, and we landed some beautiful rainbows along the way. The highlight for my boys was a fly-out trip to the Katmai area, an experience that was truly life-changing for them. It was a father-son adventure I’ll never forget.
In August 2024, I returned with my daughter, son-in-law, and lifelong fishing buddy, and once again, Big Sky delivered. It was the first time my daughter and son-in-law had ever been to Alaska, and for them, it was the trip of a lifetime. We had too much fun catching halibut, silvers, and more pinks than we could count. But what made it even more special was the camaraderie we shared around the lodge’s firepit every evening, with the Kenai River flowing just a few feet away—it was pure magic.
Having the camp dog “Howdy” to play with and throw sticks for made it even more fun. He brought an extra layer of joy to our days, always ready for some action!
The Big Sky crew went above and beyond to accommodate our every need, and we absolutely loved every minute of our stay. I can’t recommend Big Sky enough for anyone looking to create unforgettable memories with family and friends.”

The fishing is tremendous with the knowledgeable, friendly team of guides, but that is just the start. The guides, camp personnel, and owners are helpful and very generous with their time, knowledge, and energy. This is our 4th consecutive year, and there will be more.

This is my favorite place to stay while fishing in Alaska! Joe makes sure you have a great time, and all his guides do their very best to put you on the fish and teach you how to land your trophy salmon. I highly recommend you try them out.

These folks are fantastic, the captains are great and fun to be around. These dudes rock!!! They know how to get you on the fish and even cleaned, filleted, packaged, and froze my fish. Wonderful day on the river and a lot of fun…

Our company uses the service of Big Sky to host an annual fishing event for customers. Big Sky does a great job catering and finding quality guides for 120 fishermen. Always look forward to attending and going to Big Sky each year!

For the last 5 years I have gone to Big Sky Charters annually. After the first visit, we began booking our company trip with them. Ella and her team make everything easy for our large group of 20+ to travel down, relax comfortably, have a great time by the fire or fishing off the riverbank. Then the guides always deliver on fishing the river with a great personal experience. We enjoy all the hospitality and how hard everyone works to ensure we get the most out of every adventure. Her team processes our catch quickly and helps us get out on the road after a long day on the water.
I’ve brought family down and stayed a couple of nights. The cabins and camp are so enjoyable. Whether you like sitting on the front porch with your feet up, meeting new friends by the awesome firepit or flipping off of the bank for another picture-worthy salmon. Big Sky makes it easy to recommend them to small or large groups looking for the Alaskan fishing experience.
