Guides

Tyler

Tyler Gottfredson

Operations Manager
Ty has a passion for big rainbows but also loves to fish for salmon… so it is no surprise that he made his way to the Kenai. Ty took the time to learn the river by working as a scenic rafting guide and fishing it on his own time for a few years. Ty’s great sense of humor and attention to detail make him a fantastic guide.
