Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Clayton, owner and guide of Longfellow's Kenai Salmon Adventures. I’m a lifelong Alaskan and I’ve been fishing these waters since before I was even able to hold a rod. What started as childhood days on the river turned into a lifelong passion for the outdoors.

Fishing isn’t seasonal for me — it’s year-round. When the rivers freeze over, you’ll find me out ice fishing all winter long. And when I’m not on the water, I’m usually in the field chasing ducks, moose, or bear. The outdoors isn’t just what I do for work — it’s what I love.

My wife and I have been together for 13 years. We’ve spent most of that time outdoors — fly fishing year-round and ice fishing all winter long. We’ve been married for three years now and have a two-year-old son who we’re already introducing to the same outdoor lifestyle we love. We love taking him fishing whenever we can and showing him everything the outdoors has to offer.

Guiding gives me the chance to share that lifestyle with others. Whether you’re after King salmon, silvers, sockeye, trout — or my personal favorite, Steelhead — I’ll do everything I can to make sure you have a safe, laid-back, and unforgettable day on the water.
