Picking up some of my fly tying material tonight after tying a few flies and took this pic of my Labrador. He lives to fish and chase birds. 
July weather couldn’t be better here on the Kenai Peninsula and fresh fish are everywhere. Hiring a guide will help you get to more productive gravel bars and allow you to get a little space in between other groups of fisherman as well. Once you are dialed in on the techniques you will be able to hook sockeye salmon during the peak of the run with ease.

With so many sockeye in the river I believe that it Freaks the rainbow trout out for a few days. Now there are enough carcasses in the river that the trout should start to really key in on them! In a few days though a fresh flesh fly will do very well just down stream of the sockeye salmon anglers. If there is time after a Kenai river salmon trip we are happy to make a few drifts for you to try and catch some rainbow trout if you would like.

A nice limit of fish like this will keep your freezer stocked up with fresh sockeye salmon for months, if you book multiple days of fishing you could have salmon to eat throughout the year.

It is hard work fishing for king Salmon and can take some patients too but the reward is well worth it. The fish will weigh in the high 30 pound range and is fresh in from the ocean. The best time to catch a king salmon is when it first enters the river. They are full of energy and will flat out punish you. We offer king salmon trips on the kenai and kasilof rivers and have both drift and power boat options.

Young anglers enjoy Kenai river sockeye salmon fishing as much as anyone. What a great fishery to start off your fishing career!
Chrome Sockeye salmon are the best to eat. They are not as desirable the longer they are in the river.
Today’s trip was won on a free drawing at the Matanuska valley sportsmans show here in Alaska. I donated this trip the the Mat-su valley medical center to raffle off in their booth. Jeff Anderson of Alaska won the trip for 4 on the Kenai river. The kids were a blast catching sockeye salmon on the Kenai river today and I look forward to having them back on the boat.

Getting set up and read to fish for Kenai river sockeye salmon this morning! The boat parking on this gravel bar allows us to have our gear close by and access the boat for a break when needed. Current and depth play a real factor when choosing a spot to fish for kenai river sockeye salmon. Adjust your weight so that your fly is barely off the bottom. A 4-6 foot leader is very important as well, any shorter and you will not be covering the water that is needed. Sockeye salmon have to be hooked in the mouth so any fish that is not has to be released immediately. It is hard work some days and a foul hooked fish is tempting but understand that it is not worth it.
The Kenai river sockeye salmon (reds) run is getting better every day. The last two days in a row 12,000 fish have entered the river for a total of over 70,000 fish.
Book your kenai river sockeye salmon trip with Drifting on the Fly by calling or contacting us here on the site. If we do not answer leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we get off the water.

In Soldotna Alaska there are a few places I would recommend hanging out after a day of rainbow trout fishing and saint Elias brewing company is one of them. I’ll keep you posted on what going on with the Kenai river fishery as well.

Hanging out at the boat launch on the Kenai river this morning. Had the boat launched early (O dark 30). Waited for an hour for the guest to show up. This usually isn’t a big deal but with the added pressure this year of red fisherman it was this morning. The gravel bar that I really like was filled up and I had no spot to fish. We spent some time running in the boat and was able to get a pretty good spot up river. One of my favorites in the area that I’m in. We’ve lost a few and missed a few but have not put any on the bank and we are half way through our day. with this being said, This year more than ever it’s important to make your start time! I want to see you catch fish about as bad as you want to catch them.
Here is a shot of the guys flipping for sockeye salmon fishing on the Kenai river. Hope the second half of the day goes better. I know we will get a few.
Remember that felt soles are banned in the state of Alaska. If you plan to bring waders make sure that your wading boots have a vibram sole and not felt.
Tight lines and good fishing,
