MEET YOUR KENAI RIVER
GUIDE: SEAN SMART
Born and raised in Alaska, Sean spent his childhood on the Kenai Peninsula fishing the Kenai River and surrounding lakes. And that means he’s had decades of hands on experience locating the fish, being up-to-date on current river conditions and fish behavior. Along the way Sean has learned tips and tricks to become the best Kenai River fishing guide he can be all to lead you to that trophy fish.
Sean served in the US Army for six years while he traveled the world Alaska always called to him. Missing his home state, he moved back to Soldotna and started his guide service—Kenai River Recon LLC.
Sean loves Alaska, all kinds of fishing in Alaska, but he especially loves fly fishing! Considerate and attentive, Sean takes your daily goals in mind and makes the effort to make your dreams come true. Whether it’s salmon limits, the chance at a trophy fish, or just the pure pleasure of kicking back for a serene day on the water, Sean is a smart choice for your Kenai and Kasilof guide.
Sean is a conscientious steward of the Kenai River. He makes every effort to aid in fish preservation, employs careful catch and release tactics on any fish unretained, and promotes practice to protect fish, such as Kenai kings, that are currently in decline. Sean is a member of the Kenai River Sportfishing Association, Kenai River Professional Guides Association and is a USCG licensed merchant mariner.
Whether you’re planning a once in a lifetime trip to the Kenai River or this is an annual treat for yourself, you’re in good hands when you head out with Sean!
