The Kenai Peninsula is home to the most diverse fishing in all of Alaska: halibut, rockfish; four species of salmon (kings, sockeye, silvers, pinks); steelhead and trophy rainbow trout; Dolly Varden and the predatory pike.

Tower Rock Lodge guides are seasoned, positive, knowledgeable, patient, energetic and at times humorous. They work exclusively for Tower Rock and live right on lodge grounds providing you access to learn more about the area and its fisheries. On the day of your trip, they will meet you in the morning at breakfast, run through the day's plan, and provide all that is necessary for the day’s trip. Our guest services and support staff are here to make your stay as comfortable as possible with years of experience in the hospitality industry. Our chef will be dishing out everything from Alaskan American classics to Latin fusion and of course Tower Rock’s famous “Thai night.”
