Alaskan Gamefisher is owned and run by Captain Mel Erickson, who has guided since 1989 and notes he is one of the few Alaska guides who personally guides both Kenai River salmon and saltwater halibut while owning his own boats. Based in Soldotna, he runs Kenai River kings from May through July, sockeye fly-out trips in midsummer, silvers in August, and Cook Inlet halibut from May through August, and recommends private charters so groups aren't mixed with strangers.
