We love Big Sky Charter and Fishcamp so much that we’ve begun a yearly tradition of going to Alaska, and they are our primary destination. We always bring home loads of salmon and halibut, thanks to their excellent guide services. It’s a huge bonus that they store and pack fish for a very reasonable price right on site. We’ve spent many an hour down at their dock and always have luck catching fish during the salmon run. Big Sky is a gem on the Kenai River, both because of the location and the wonderful people. We look forward to our trip all year long.

This Alaskan fish camp experience begins when you drive into camp. You are welcomed by everyone on site, willing to help you carry and get settled. Your lodging gives you privacy, and then the campfire gives you people from all over the country. Ella ensures your stay and fishing are the best, and anything you need is provided. Your fish are handled and processed as you want. And town is about 12 minutes away for any jaunt to a ballgame or restaurants. Yes, even we Alaskans love it, as we wait for next year.

I have fished in Alaska for over 20 years. Joe Brennan at Big Sky is one of the best guides I have ever had. He has an excellent boat and puts you on fish. Whether you are looking for a great day on the water or fish in your cooler, Joe is your man. The Big Sky Fishcamp is on the amazing Kenai River, with salmon at your front door. If you’re searching for a great Alaska adventure, Joe B. is your man.

If you want a great fishing experience in the serenity and beauty of Alaska, I highly recommend Big Sky Charter and Fishcamp. We have been taking corporate groups to Big Sky for the past 5 years and have thoroughly enjoyed each adventure. Arrangements are always excellent, and the stewardship of the entire fishing trip and subsequent activities were outstanding. We fished in different locations each day. What a great variety, and each so special in their own way. Big Sky combines their gift for coaching with all-around great personalities, which leads to a high-quality experience. I would recommend them for the excellent fishing guides with great knowledge and customer service. You are guaranteed to have a fun day on and off the water.

It has been with great pleasure that I have had the opportunity to experience this great outdoor fishing adventure with Big Sky Charter and Fishcamp. They are knowledgeable and dedicated guides with a high level of energy that is matched with the focus on catching fish. I have had the opportunity of sending 50-60 employees and clients a year for team-building experiences over the past 5-6 years. Big Sky is committed to providing each and every guest with personalized attention and instructions for any experience level. Their love for fishing, zest for the game, professionalism, and vigorous pursuit of excellence places them at the pinnacle of outfitters. I highly recommend Big Sky and will continue to do so in the future.

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!

I started fishing with Big Sky in the mid 1980’s not knowing what to expect. In the forty years since that first trip, every year has been a new and exciting experience. Whether fishing the Kenai from the bank behind the camp or being out on the river with one of the guides it always ends up being a memorable experience. The last 4 years I have been lucky enough to have my son experience the fun of the Kenai Peninsula and staying at Big Sky.
