Looking for a Kenai Peninsula Deep Creek steelhead fishing Guide? We can help you out with a guided trip on this beautiful small river. We offer 8 hour full day excursions on light tackle or fly rod for Deep Creek. There are many runs that hold good numbers of fish throughout the fall and this is one of my favorite steelhead streams on the Kenai Peninsula. Fresh fish push in with each tide in the fall and there are days where multiple fish are caught. Add a steelhead trip to your Kenai river rainbow trout fishing trip or just pursue steelhead it’s up to you. There have been falls where I spend over 35 days walking the banks of our local steelhead waters and just the thought of hooking up on one keeps me going back. It is steelhead fishing and these contrary fish can be difficult at times but when it is on it is on! The season is here and if you are interested in a hard fighting fish that will reward you with long runs, cartwheels and jumps before you bring it to hand, this is your trip.

Kasilof river fishing continues to be good for us. Between the steelhead fishing and the king salmon fishing the days have been passing by way to fast. The kasilof river is starting to rise with runoff now and I know the steelhead fishing will not last much longer. Maybe a week if I am lucky. We will have to wait until the fall to see the acrobatic hard fighting fish again.
This morning when I got up and going I was able to see this new born moose and cow hanging out behind the neighbors house. They are so clumsy looking when they are first born.

In May and early June, kasilof river steelhead fishing trips can be very productive. Before the glacier and run off bring the water levels up fish can be found throughout the whole system.
This week my kasilof river steelhead fishing trips produced not only steelhead but also dolly Varden and king salmon.
This king salmon took a fly on a dead drift and gave us an epic battle on a 10 foot 7 weight.
Here are just a few pictures of some steelhead from this past week.
We have had some beautiful weather this week. The spring fishery will be over soon. Steelhead fishing on the Kenai peninsula will continue in the fall about the middle of September through the month of October.
If pursuing steelhead in Alaska on your vacation is something that you would like to do give us a call anytime and we can talk about timing and setting up a steelhead guide trip with our guide service.
www.driftingonthefly.comKenai Peninsula Steelhead Fishing Guide trips will give you a greater chance at success on these hard fighting fish. We have spent much of our time studying and fishing the local Kenai Peninsula steelhead fishing water. The 3 main rivers on the Kenai Peninsula that we fish for steelhead are the Kasilof river, the Anchor river, and Deep Creek. All 3 rivers have great fishing opportunities for sizable steelhead, dolly varden, king salmon and silver salmon.

Kasilof River Steelhead fishing
We will start our kenai peninsula steelhead fishing guide trips out on the Kasilof river. In early to mid April most years the Kasilof river starts to fish well for steelhead. There are good wade fishing opportunities in the start of the season and then drift boat fishing opportunities when the ice is cleared from the launch. The river is shallow at this time of year and fish can be spooky. Swinging flies, dead drifting nymphs and egg patterns and even casting and striping flies has produced steelhead on the Kasilof river. Spring steelhead opportunities will last until about throughout the first week in June. Then the majority of the fish have made their way back to the ocean and will not return until around the first of September. Fall steelhead fishing on the Kasilof river can also produce a lot of fish. Kenai Peninsula steelhead fishing guide Trips will be offered until the middle of October when colder weather usually runs us off the river. Kasilof river steelhead fishing guide trips are offered to both spin and fly anglers.
Anchor river and Deep Creek steelhead fishing
The Anchor river and Deep Creek are also located on the Kenai Peninsula and are walk and wade fishing streams only. We have explored and fished these rivers for years as well and know them by heart and timing. Steelhead usually start to show up here in late august but we don’t really start targeting steelhead until the second week in September. These streams are smaller than the Kasilof river but have produced a lot of fish. I have seen tides bring in a big push of fish and between a couple of anglers have hooked up on dozens of fish. Again swinging and nymph fishing will catch fish but egg patterns will dominate. These fish like resident rainbow trout key in on the salmon spawn and can’t resist the right size and color combination!

One of my favorite things to do on a day off is to hit up the kenai peninsula steelhead fishing. We have a few hours to drive and catch up after a long fishing season and reflect. We arrive in the parking lot and there are a few anglers still out but not many, get our waders on and hit the river. The weather is defiantly colder now and the fishing has been so good. Soon after we start we hit the first fish and another in just a few hours we took a break and talked about how good of a day we were having. We nymph fished all day and between the two of us were able to dredge up almost two dozen fish. In Alaska I have had quit a few days where over a dozen fish were landed in the party but we haven’t had to many days where a couple dozen fish were landed. This is truly a special place and Here are a few pictures of some Kenai peninsula steelhead.
A good high stick will keep less line on the water and your drift drag free. Doing this will bring you more strikes during your fishing trip.
Keeping steady pressure on a fish will give you less chances of the hook falling out.

Most of our walk and wade steelhead fisheries on the Kenai peninsula close to fishing on nov.1 this year. If you need a last minute fix make sure to give us a call, I would love to share a day like this with you as well.

Kenai peninsula steel head fishing
Dolly Varden are a real bonus fish while Fishing for steelhead on the Kenai peninsula . This morning the bite was on in a few holes and we just happened to be there while it was going on.
This Steel head was hooked and released in very shallow water. When approaching any body of water make sure you take a second to look and see if any fish might be close enough you could spook by just walking up to the edge of the water. You might be making your first couple of cast standing back in the bushes to not spook these fish
Once you have covered the water closer to shore then you can make your way further out into the stream. Most of the Kenai Peninsula steel head fishing is done in smaller streams and rivers. They are easily accessible and in most places you can wade across the river. This makes it nice for chasing those big ocean run steel head up and down the river too!
Swinging flies for king salmon and steel head on the kasilof river. Spey rods make the job of fishing big rivers a little easier.
Kasilof river (located just 12 miles from Soldotna) fly fishing for steel head can be very good. I offer drift boat and walk and wade trips for steel head in the spring. If you are looking for a quality trip look no further than a guided Kasilof river fly fishing trip with us. Best timing to catch these hard fighting, gear burning fish are from late april until the second week in June.
give us a call to book your next Kasilof river fly fishing trip
In early April we fished the Kenai River for a week straight and caught some beautiful steelhead and rainbow trout. All of the fish we caught were on black leech’s and washed out flesh patterns. By the middle of April we started to see a large number of fish staging up for the spawn. When we see this starting to happen we back off of the rainbow trout on the Kenai River and gear our efforts more towards steel head fishing and lakes that are starting to show open water.

The Kenai River closes to trout fishing starting May first to help protect our resident rainbow trout in their most vulnerable time. Then on June 11Th the river opens back up again to trout fishing. Like any fish during the spawn, Rainbow trout exert a lot of energy and can be easily stressed by poor handling and long battles on hook and line. In the past few years we have noticed a big jump winter/spring trout fishing so it is more important than ever to do our part in protecting our waters.
We are ready for the 2011, South Central Alaska fishing season to get started! Steelhead fishing on the Kasilof River is well under way and King Salmon should show up in fish-able numbers by the middle of May. There are seats available but they are filling up fast. Call today to reserve you seat for salmon or rainbow trout.
