    A full day trip lasting until 3-4PM is $250 per person. We highly recommend and prefer to do full day trips as your Kenai River guide does not need to be back at noon for another group and sometimes an extra 2-3 hours can be vital, especially with tidal fisheries.

Kenai River Salmon Fishing Season

    Kenai River Sockeye Salmon Fishing occurs in July with the peak normally occurring in the last two weeks of the month. This is a very popular time for bank fishing on the Kenai River and our guided fishing guests have private access to Kenai salmon fishing via our Kenai Riverfront property. We also offer Kenai Alaska salmon fishing for sockeye where our Kenai salmon fishing guides can take you to a secluded location by boat. Kenai River Silver Salmon fishing begins in late July with peak fishing in mid August and lasting through early October.
