Promoting a positive catch and release angling ethic, focused on conservation!
Lakeview Outfitters, experienced, local guides for an unforgettable fly-fishing adventure on the Kenai River and surrounding waters.
Lakeview Outfitters is guide owned and operated, by Phil Hilbruner, and Travis (TJ) Dawson. They founded Lakeview Outfitters in 2015 with a simple goal. To promote a more positive catch and release angling ethic, focused on conservation and reducing angler impact.
They care about your experience and are working to raise the bar in the fly-fishing industry by providing the best quality guided trips! Not only are they the best outfitters around, they are always conscious of the impact on the river ecosystems and promote ethical angling practices through our shop and our guiding. From the day they were founded, they consider conservation first in all their decisions. This isn't something they just talk about; it shows in their daily practices. That’s what sets them apart - STEWARDSHIP / BARBLESS / SUSTAINABILITY
Here are just some of the highlights of their guided services:
Trout fishing at its best! Drift on the Upper Kenai! Set against the Chugach Mountains, the Upper Kenai River in Cooper Landing is a truly remarkable area filled with epic scenery and great opportunities for the Trout angler. The Upper Kenai also has a healthy population of Dolly Varden, a close relative to Arctic Char. Dolly Varden or "Dollies" have a lot of overlap in their habitat and eating habits with Rainbow Trout. A day of Trout fishing with Lakeview Outfitters usually means you will catch both species. https://www.lakeviewoutfitters.com/trout-fishing
Sockeye and Coho Salmon! For those who would like to keep fish, Sockeye fishing the Kenai River is a great option! Of all the Salmon, Sockeye, also known as Red Salmon, are prized for having flesh that is firmer and a deeper color of red than other species of Salmon. When properly cared for and packaged, Sockeye Salmon can easily last all winter in your freezer and be just as delicious as the day they were caught. https://www.lakeviewoutfitters.com/trips
Scenic Tours are available. Not all visitors to Cooper Landing are interested in floating the Kenai River without a fly rod in their hands, so they also offer scenic tours for a more relaxed experience. They’ve improved on the industry standard by offering this scenic tour in our spacious drift boats, where each guest has their own comfortable seat instead of sitting on the edge of a raft. To further add to your enjoyment, they offer a delicious Charcuterie board for you to snack on while you soak up the sights. https://www.lakeviewoutfitters.com/copy-of-fishing-trip
