Kenai River Guides
With nearly 100 years of combined Alaska fishing guide experience, our team will make sure you catch your fish!
Eric Loomis
Owner/GuideBorn and raised in Quincy, Washington. Eric grew up on the family farm, where he learned from a young age to work hard and play hard. During the off season he would Duck hunt and fish for Salmon on the Columbia River. After graduating from college he decided to start a guide business Duck hunting. Eventually he made his way to Alaska and has never left. He loves everything about Alaska and the Kenai River. Fishing for King Salmon is his calling, and if you hang out with him too much, he’ll have you convinced Alaska is the place for you as well!

Matt Barber
GuideGrowing up in Fort Collins, Colorado, Matt’s love for the outdoors was instantaneous. He spent nearly every waking moment in the mountains whether it be fishing, hunting or building houses with his family. Years ago, an immediate friendship formed the moment Eric and Matt met, and you can say it was a match made in heaven. Together, they can do it all – fishing, hunting and building custom homes all the way from Nebraska to Alaska!
Kyndall Barber
GuideThe ol’ apple didn’t fall too far from the tree with this one! Just like her dad, Matt, Kyndall loves fishing and anything related to the great outdoors. Born and raised in Lincoln, NE, she finally fulfilled her lifelong dream of visiting Alaska to initially nanny for Eric and his daughters, Avery and Zoey. It didn’t take long for her to realize that her happy place was on the river when Eric would take Kyndall and his daughters out fishing. Shortly after, Eric gave her the nickname “The Sockeye Ninja”. Don’t let her size fool you…from sockeyes to kings, Kyndall can catch ‘em all!
