We stayed at Jimmie Jack's Lodge and fished with his guides for 3 days and had a great time. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Jimmie was flexible in working with us as we had a change of plans during our trip and decided to change our fishing plans from a river trip to a fly out trip. The lodge was very nice and the area was convenient to Kenai.

Jimmiejack runs a good operation. Accomodations are not fancy (we stayed in attached older apartment) but very comfortable and clean. Fishing set up was excellent - great boats, guides, and knowledge of how to catch 'em. We limited out every day on Silvers and trout. Jimmiejack is personally engaged, very accessible and unfailingly pleasant and helpful. A problem with reels was addressed promptly with new replacements. Extra raingear was available on the boats if you forgot your own. Guides well versed in safety and comfort needs. It's obvious the emphasis is on guest satisfaction and results! Jimmie's fish processing recommendation did a terrific job both with smoking fish and vacuum freezing and then Fedexing. We were completely satisfied and heartily recommend. We'll be back!

The lodge is clean and well set up for its purpose. Nothing fancy. The setting is on the shore of Cook Inlet and there are spectacular mountain views across the Inlet on clear days. There is a commercial fishing operation off the beech in front of the lodge. The staff are polite, friendly, and accommodating. The food is excellent and plentiful. The fishing guides are knowledgable, friendly, and fun to visit with. We caught lots of pink and silver salmon and halibut. The trout fishing was not as good as expected and apparently surprisingly below the norm according to the guides. The Lodge itself is not remote but sits amongst a few residences and businesses. Soldatna is a small town but has a lot of resources and a few decent restaurants. It is roughly halfway between Homer and Seward so it is an excellent location to explore the Kenai peninsula. The fish processing shop did a great and timely job with our fish and they arrived in Tennessee well frozen. We plan to come back.

Excellent Lodge with a million dollar view. If you are going to fish the Kenai stay at the Jimmy Jack Lodge and fish with Jimmie Jack. Best fishing vacation of my life!
