Hands down the very best guides on the Kenai river in my opinion is Fred and Stacy from Mystic waters. Floating with them is a pleasure with learning tips and instruction available at every turn. Fred just earned the prestigious "Master guide" status a few years ago and Stacy is as deserving. Clearly, I have floated with these guys several times. If you would like proof, think about this...I have my own boat on the Kenai and still want to float with them. As I go past them their clients are always landing the most fish on the river, PERIOD! Often times I feel like jumping into their boat to see what magic the are conjuring up to have such success. These guys are incredible. I host trips for friends and family members seeking the solitude and a chance at numbers of fish as well as size. I also plan trips for people as well and charge a nominal fee. I always try to book anglers on either Fred or Stacy's boat. It is that good. On a last referral for a good friend of mine he called me from the river to tell me he had caught over 3o fish before noon, landed a 31.5 inch rainbow and that was not his biggest hooked that day. He also told me (more than several times) the Stacy was the best guide he has ever been with... and he has been with a lot. If they are booked up during your dates consider changing your plans to find a slot that works for them, or maybe change your plans to a year later..., Seriously.
