Alaska Fishing with Mark Glassmaker
Soldotna, Alaska
The business is based in Soldotna, Alaska, on the Kenai Peninsula, and has guided the peninsula’s main river since 1990. Mark Glassmaker is a Master Guide, holds a Coast Guard license, and sits on factory pro staff for G. Loomis, Shimano, and Rapala. Every guide on the crew has completed the Kenai River Guide Academy and carries a Coast Guard license of their own. Lodging is owned and run alongside the charters: seven riverside cabin properties, named Lazy Salmon, Edgewater One and Two, Keystone Retreat, Back Eddy, One Fish and Two Fish, and Moosehorn One and Two. The charter book also covers the Kasilof River and saltwater halibut trips, so a stay of several days can move between fresh and salt water without changing operators.
