This is our "FEATURE TRIP" targeting
Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden and often Sockeye or Silver Salmon.
Trips meet at a selected location in Cooper Landing. Drifts
often include the "KENAI CANYON" (dependant on weather and fishing
conditions), the most wild and scenic stretch of the river.
Departures for full day trips often range from 5:00 a.m to 9:00
a.m. Departure times may be recommended based on fishing
conditions or to accommodate various travel schedules.
Note: As independent guides, we are flexible and willing to
schedule departures to accommodate special needs. We are happy to
work with you to facilitate your trip goals. Customer service is
our business.

Flowing from Skilak Lake, the Kenai
River slowly picks up speed through some fantastic fish producing
habitat. While technically the Lower River, locals call this
section the "Middle". Fly-fishing is not the norm on the Lower
Kenai, but fantastic opportunities exist. Exceptionally large
rainbows are common as well as dollies, sockeye, kings, silvers
and pink salmon. We often shift to this stretch of the river
during peak fishing periods.
The Lower Kenai is not drift only. We utilize a motor on our
drift boats for easy access into and out of the fishery. A Lower
("Middle") drift can be a great addition to several days on the
Upper Kenai.

If you like the thrill of picking up a
strong trout on a tight line, then you have an option from mid
May through early June. While the Upper Kenai is closed until
June 11 to protect spawning rainbows, most of the Lower Kenai
remains open.
The trout are hungry and opportunities for trophy sized
rainbows are as good as at any time during the season!

Lower Kenai Drifts feature monster
Kenai King Salmon in June and July. Feisty Silver Salmon run in
August and September. Kasilof River King Salmon trips are an
excellent option from late May to mid June. Trips meet at a
designated boat landing in the Sterling or Soldotna Area. Times
are variable, but early (5:00 am) is generally the
norm.
Salmon trips are typically sought by non-fly-fishers.
Fly-fishing the Lower Kenai for salmon including "Huge Kings" is
an option. Contact Fred for special details.

This is big gamefish hunting.
Requirements are 10-12wt rods, reels with flawless drags and lots
of backing. Anglers also need to be able to cast a mini-tip line
60 feet, or a very heavy shooting head at least 40
feet.
There is no guarantee of success, but the payoff can be
BIG!

COMFORT is the key to enjoyment in the
outdoors. Occasionally we are blessed with warm sunny days but be
prepared, for cool weather. We are located adjacent to several of
the world's largest ice fields with the Gulf of Alaska nearby.
The weather can be unpredictable. There is plenty of space in the
boat to store extra clothing. Trips operate rain or shine so
guests need to be prepared with QUALITY RAINGEAR(parka and pants)
or WATERPROOF JACKET with WADERS. Bring several WARM LAYERS. A
fleece jacket under a rain parka makes a comfortable combo.
FISHING LICENSES are required for anglers 16 and older. Please
plan to purchase your license ahead of time and be sure it is
current. Other recommended items include camera/video camcorder,
polarized sunglasses, binoculars and brimmed hat. Also remember
to bring an ample lunch and snacks to keep your body fueled
throughout the day.
TRIP EMPHASIS: It is always our goal to provide the best
fishing trip possible given the conditions of the day. If you
have any special desires or goals for your trip, please let us
know so we can make proper preparations.

We drift in custom-made, Kenai River
Guide Model, "Willie" and "Fish Rite" Drift Boats. There is
comfortable seating for four anglers.
We feature top-notch fly-fishing tackle as well as standard
spinning and casting outfits. On Full Day trips, we bring along a
thermos of fresh coffee, hot water for teas or cocoa and a jug of
cold water. We have Orvis hip boots in mens' sizes 7-12 (one pair
each), though we recommend fly-fishing guests bring waders if
they have them. While we strongly support "catch and release", we
will happily fillet any salmon you retain. Vacuum packing,
freezing and shipping as well as other custom processing services
are available locally.
Feel free to contact Fred if you have any questions about our
equipment or your own.
