Corey Hetrick

Owner/Guide

Corey was raised behind the Trail Lake Fish Hatchery in Moose Pass, where his father managed the operation for fifteen years.  Corey has lived around the salmon and fishing industry since he was born.  He has grown up fishing the waters of the Kenai Peninsula and Moose Pass ever since he could cast a line.  His knowledge of the area’s backcountry and river drainages gives him the opportunity to take people fishing to places that are truly unique and pristine.  A safe and authentic Alaskan fishing experience is what he strives for; making a trip that will never be forgotten.  “There is something about walking through the wilderness on a game trail to get to a secret fishing hole that makes my trips unique."  Corey is passionate about his profession as a fisherman and guide, taking pride in sharing his knowledge and experience with every angler that visits Alaska. He treats each client with the same respect and openness everyday of the season.     

Corey’s parents own the Inn at Tern Lake where Corey bases his fishing operations.  The Inn at Tern Lake is a beautiful place to stay, with wonderful hospitality, and minutes’ drive to the best fishing on the Kenai Peninsula.  Trips by Chugach Backcountry Fishing are customized by the anglers to fit their busy Alaskan schedules. Corey will go out of his way to ensure the most memorable fishing experience!
