Tim from Natron air in Soldotna Alaska has flown me out with guest many times now. He has a well maintained, clean and reliable plane. It’s quit an experience landing on a beach in the middle of no where. Depending on where we fly will determine if we use a wheeled plane or a plane on floats.
I will report in on the trip when we get back after we get back.

This mornings kenai river silver salmon and rainbow trout fishing trip was gorgeous!! The 20 minute run up river was as scenic as Alaska is! You can expect anything from fog to rain to snow to any condition in Alaska but this morning was one to praise. It was 39 degrees at the boat launch and crystal clear! It’s trout season!
Dustin and “jeff”! decided to purchase an exclusive boat for a couple days and wanted to fish Kenai river rainbow trout and silver salmon (cohoe. We limited fast this morning and had smokes and lunch on my favorite gravel bar on the Kenai river. Every day can’t be limits of salmon but it is Alaska.
On the way back to the boat launch this pair of eagles was worth turning the boat and taking a few pics for.
This afternoons Kenai river rainbow trout trip was great! The Leslie group had been fishing with me for years. We headed up the Kenai river and pulled off a great half day evening trip on the Kenai river. We had 4 hours of great rainbow trout and dolly Varden fishing! They group also witnessed a sow brown bear and two cubs feeding on a gravel bar. These are the same two bears that have been out for the last two evenings.
A good Alaska fall day today! Fall is here but fishing season had just begun. If you are interest in sharing a day on the Kenai river or a fly out to a remote stream with our company feel free to contact us anytime.
Off on a fly out tomorrow across cook inlet to fish for silver salmon! can’t wait to get my feet off the ground and show my guests something they haven’t experienced in 20 years of coming to Alaska. The Rivers on the Kenai peninsula are great but I will never loose the drive to explore remote places in Alaska!

Float planes often cruise the Kenai River and can land in many places. It is quit an experience to have a float plane buzz you while you are in Alaska rainbow trout fishing.
The rainbow trout have moved behind the king salmon and there are fish feeding through out the whole system right now.
Alaska rainbow trout fishing can be very frustrating if you do not match the hatch. The hatch being flesh and eggs from the salmon. When the Rainbows key in on this rich food source you will be hard pressed catching them on any other imitations. The first to spawn are the King salmon. King salmon eggs are around 9-12 mm in size and vary in color depending on light and time that they have been in the water.
Often in the fall you can find bears feeding along the gravel bars. This bear was spotted below rainbow alley on the middle kenai river. He chased sea gulls and found an easy meal right in front of us while we fished. I love it when guest that have never seen an Alaska brown bear have the opportunity to hang out with them on the river.

The view from a kenai river boat launch this morning. My gear is in order and the sun rise is worth sharing. Looking up the Moose river under the sterling highway bridge at 5 am reminds me that fall is well on its way. Clear skies and cooler temperatures will turn the landscape into autumn in days now not weeks. We are Headed out Kenai River rainbow trout fishing and silver salmon fishing today, we will start off casting fly’s for the silver salmon and when the sun gets up higher after lunch we will search for rainbow trout.
Booking a combination fishing trip with us is easy, give us a call and let us know what you would like to do on your next fishing trip and we will hook you up. I will meet you at one of the kenai river boat launches and take you out for a great day on the river.

I got my flask back today from getting engraved! On the back I am planning on engraving your name on it when you catch a 30″ rainbow trout or better and/or a king salmon 50#’s or better. Over the years I haven’t kept as good of track of this accomplishment as I should have and in the future you can bet that I will never forget another one! I know lots of you that are following this blog have fished with me before and am asking you to give me a call, text or email if you have caught a extremely big fish on tape with me and i will be happy to add you to the half gallon flask club!

The guys enjoying a nice cigar on the Kenai river after a big lunch.
Alcohol is permitted on our boats but not in excess. We do not provide any alcoholic beverages.
Sometimes it’s not all about the fish although these guys caught a lot of Kenai river rainbow trout and dolly Varden. The Kenai rive is an excellent place to get away from it all and get back to spending the day doing something for you, and possibly hooking the ONE! June, August, September and October can be very productive months for rainbow trout fishing and just relaxing on the kenai river. If a guide trip is in your future feel free to give us a call at 907-382-6808 or contact us through the site. Prime dates go fast so booking early insures your days that you would like to reserve.

Kasilof river silvers and kenai river trout fishing combo
Got a quick limit of silver salmon yesterday morning on the kasilof river bouncing eggs in the tidal water. The group was interested in some fly fishing so we put the drift boat up and took the power boat out on the Kenai river rainbow trout fishing. The little extra effort really paid off with some big fish!! This isn’t something we do every day but if there is time we are happy to go the extra mile for you.
Bright sunny days often put the rainbow’s off the bite. Today was an exception to that! When salmon start dropping eggs into the system all bets are off and it should be fish On.
Trout salmon combo days can be a lot of fun and a lot of work as well. If we change up gears and switch systems extra half day rates will apply for the afternoon trip. If you would like to get in on a day like this give us a call at 907-382-6808.

We were on the kasilof river silver salmon fishing this morning. Back trolling plugs and cured eggs trying to get in front a good push of fish. A change in the weather from yesterday for sure. Bright sunny skies have us wearing sun scream in layers instead of rain jackets!! It’s a ladies trip today and they are a riot! We’ve caught a few silver salmon and a lot of pink salmon.
A few more hours are left in the day to bring in a limit for the girls. I hope it happens for them.
This chrome bright silver salmon put on a real show for us. It cart wheeled 4 times before coming into the net. Silver salmon are the number one choice for many anglers. The ladies have been coming to alaska for many years and prefer the fishing for the silver over any other species of salmon that they have fished for. I have to say whatever I am fishing for at the moment tends to be my favorite fish to pursue? I enjoy meeting new people and fishing, it’s the perfect job.
If you would like to give the Kasilof river a shot for silver salmon give us a call or contact us through the site and we will hook you up!
