Meet Guide Laine Lahndt

Guide Laine Lahndt is more than a seasoned angler—he’s a true Alaskan with deep roots in the Kenai Peninsula and over four decades of guiding experience. His love for fishing started in the early 1980s, casting lines in the same rivers he guides today. What began as a personal passion quickly evolved into a lifelong career dedicated to helping others experience the joy of Alaska’s world-class waters. Guests appreciate his calm demeanor, deep local knowledge, and commitment to giving every group a trip to remember.

Laine is a licensed Alaska Master Guide with extensive knowledge of the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, Cook Inlet, and the surrounding region. Whether you’re chasing king salmon, sockeye, rainbow trout, or venturing out for halibut, Laine’s familiarity with seasonal runs, tides, and water conditions makes every trip productive. Safety is always a priority—Laine ensures every charter is fully equipped, legally compliant, and tailored to the guests’ comfort level, making him one of the most trusted Kenai Peninsula fishing guides around.

What truly sets Laine apart is his ability to connect—with beginners, seasoned anglers, and even kids experiencing their first cast. He’s not just about catching fish (though you'll do plenty of that); he’s committed to preserving local fisheries and educating guests about responsible angling. Laine supports local conservation efforts and takes pride in being a resource for families, first-timers, and returning clients looking to deepen their appreciation for Alaska’s outdoor treasures.

Your adventure takes place aboard a 20-foot ClackaCraft drift boat, powered by a quiet Yamaha 9.9 HP 4-stroke outboard. Built for comfort and stability, this vessel is ideal for navigating the Kenai’s dynamic river conditions. The boat features high-back padded seats, ample casting space, and custom tackle setups—perfect for family-friendly salmon and trout trips or stealthy fly fishing excursions. When you step aboard with Laine, you're not just hiring a guide—you’re gaining a knowledgeable local host for an unforgettable Alaskan experience.
