Setting Up Your Alaskan Fishing Adventure on the Kenai

Fishing the world famous Kenai River is a highlight for most everyone's trip to the Kenai Peninsula. Rated as the #1 Fishing Hotspot in North America by Field & Stream Magazine in May of 2004, the Kenai River holds the world record for the largest Chinook (King) Salmon caught on a pole, weighing in at 97 pounds 4 ounces in 1988 by Les Anderson.

For best success at catching one of these record breaking King Salmon, we can outfit you with our favorite professional local fishing guides, who will take you on a 1/2 day King Salmon charter that will surely live long in your memory! Plan well ahead as the prime dates for the season will surely be booked well in advance.  
 

If you prefer to do-it-alone and catch salmon from the shore, we can point you in the direction of excellent local tackle shops and public access points on the Kenai River. 

There, you can have great success at catching the smaller, but also delicious and plentiful Sockeye (Red), Coho (Silver), and Pink Salmon which run throughout the summer and fall from June-September. Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden are also caught in record sizes in the Kenai River, and the best fishing for them coincides with the salmon fishery, running from May-September.

Soldotna is a great place to launch your fly for fishing adventures too! Whether you prefer fishing the remote lakes of the Kenai Peninsula for trout or the bountiful streams across Cook Inlet for Salmon, we can help you arrange a fly out trip with a safe, reputable local air charter service.

Give us a call soon to help set up your Alaskan Fishing Adventure!
