DRIFT BOAT FISHING THE KASILOF RIVER

Kenai River Guide Trip
A popular Kenai river guide trip is for Sockeye Salmon, We offer many fishing opportunities in July and August for sockeye salmon. Some of the best gravel bars are accessible on the middle kenai river. We fish here almost exclusively during the peak of the sockeye salmon runs. We look for the Sockeye salmon fishing to pick up in the next few days also. Usually by July 14th the fishing is very good. Limits are 3 per person a day until the escapement is reached and then it is usually bumped up to 6 per person!
Second run king salmon are here. Fish have been showing up in good numbers now and you should be able to snatch on to a king if you put the time in. Both the Kenai and Kasilof have fished well for me the last couple of days. Quick fish worked best on the Kenai river and Spin and glows with a glob of eggs have been best on the Kasilof river for us.

Kenai Peninsula Fishing Charters
Drifting on the Fly, A Kenai peninsula fishing charters. One Great trip we offer is a guided charter on the Kasilof river. The Kasilof river has good steelhead, king salmon, sockeye salmon and silver salmon runs! We offer guided trips for all of the above! King salmon fishing on the Kasilof river was fair yesterday, with some bigger tides pushing in this week we are expecting the fishing to pick up even more. The egg bite is on, most of the fish are being caught on spin and glows with a small glob of eggs.
The Ninilchik river is now open for the remainder of the month for king salmon fishing. I recommend those that are interested in trying to catch a king salmon on the fly rod to search there. You’ll be able to find the most fish pushing in with the tides so pay attention to what’s going on there or we will be happy to provide a guided trip on one of the kenai peninsula’s rivers for you.
If you have any questions or would like to book a trip this season we are still taking bookings. You can reach us at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guide trip!

LITTLE SUSITNA RIVER FLY FISHING
Little Susitna river fly fishing can be very productive. We have hooked many king salmon, silver salmon, and rainbow trout on the fly in this system. Here is a picture of a king salmon hooked up on the fly rod. This fish took a purple articulated leech on the swing. Thanks to John Colmen and Jeff Murray for making the 2008 little Susitna trip a success. John and Jeff moved the camp boat, set up camp and cooked every day. Enjoying a great trip and just having them in camp added that much more to a great experience. You can catch up with these guys deep in the Shenandoah national park fishing for spooky brook trout or on the Shenandoah rivers fly casting for small mouth bass. If you would enjoy this or if it is close to your neck of the woods look them up at www.murraysflyshop.com.
Thanks again guys and good fishing, Scott Sager Drifting On The Fly, LLCKENAI PENINSULA GUIDED FISHING

KENAI PENINSULA CLAM DIGGING
Kenai peninsula clam digging can be spectacular. If you enjoy clams and are heading north to go fishing check the tide tables and plan your trip on the low of low tides. Any dates with a negative tide should produce good clam digging. Find a divet in the sand and start digging. I like to dig a couple times with a shovel to get close and then dig by hand. I tend to break less clams this way but many techniques work well and along with a good meal it is a ton of fun. Last week we had some great tides and my wife and I filled the bag with them. The law requires you to have a fishing license to dig and you have to keep any razor clam that you pull up. Those that get the hang of pulling up these fast, tasty guys up can keep 60 of them a day. The average clam is about 5 inches and you can score clams up to about 8 inches.
If you have any questions about seeking clams out feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com

FLY FISHING FOR KING SALMON
Fly fishing for king salmon can take some patients but play your tides and look for pushes of fish to come by. The King Salmon are starting to show up in real numbers now. I took this fish on a blue and chart. Marabou fly, Size 3/0. A dead drift worked for this guy but sometimes you can get them on a few short strips at the end of the drift.
This is good fishing and if you to would like to try your luck with a King Salmon feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guide trip.
FLY FISHING FOR KING SALMON
Fly fishing for king salmon on the Kenai Peninsula! How about a few busted knuckles? I narrowly escaped with mine intact yesterday while . We were fishing about 100 yards from the saltwater and when I hooked him, he decided he didn’t like the fresh water anymore. I have to say that I have never had any fish, run that hard in the fresh water! This king salmon took an olive articulated egg sucking leach at the end of the swing.
The fishing has been great this time of the year. The King Salmon are starting to increase in numbers though it has taken a little while for them to get going. It has been a cool Spring in South central Alaska and this affects everything, even the salmon run. This has however been my most productive Spring season with a fly rod for King Salmon though and I can only hope it keeps going that way.
Are you interested in learning how to fly fish for a few tackle busting King Salmon? Give me a call 907-382-6808 and we can arrange for that to happen in short order on your next kenai peninsula guide trip with Drifting on the Fly!
