Kasilof River king salmon fishing has been great! Good fishing and less crowds has made for a great season on the Kasilof river. It is however getting more popular every year, it is the sister river to the Kenai river and big fish are caught often. These fish are here and every year someone gets schooled on a fish that might very well be the next world record. If you are interested in the challenge of fishing for King Salmon from a drift boat give us a call to book your guide kasilof river king salmon fishing trip today.

This is one of the 3 fish these two guys caught this day! On the Kasilof river you do not have to quit fishing if you have harvested a fish. Though we try not to take bites away from other fisherman you will have a line in the water if everyone hasn’t limited out for the day! Odds are better drift boat fishing the Kasilof river.
We have stepped it up to a 30″ leader with a large egg orange cheater behind a # 40 diver. This set up is sure to produce a fish if presented right and time out is spent.

After a long week of fishing some friends and I got a chance to break in a buddies new Willie classic power boat on Sunday. I don’t usually get a chance to catch a King Salmon on the kenai river myself but this day I did. Sometimes it takes sitting in the front seats to know how nice a guided fishing trip can be! I ended up boating this nice king salmon on the first pass of the morning. kenai river king salmon fishing can take some patients but today I was rewarded quickly. It can take a week, a day, or the very first pass to catch a fish like this and that is why they call it fishing.
We were fishing a 28 inch leader with a orange Cheater. Hope fishing is going well for everyone and look sharing more King Salmon information in the upcoming week!
contact us out a here if you are interested in a guided kenai river king salmon fishing trip. We offer many other fishing trips in Alaska and on the Kenai river if you would like more information we are willing to help you out all we can.

Kenai river sockeye salmon fishing can be fast and furious! The 2nd run Kenai river Sockeye salmon are starting to show up in good numbers. Today we saw lots of fish moving through and look to see even more in the next couple of days.
This is one of the Sockeye salmon we caught today fishing Kenai River. A long leader with just enough weight to bounce along the bottom will get you hooked up on one of these hard fighting fish.
While out on the river don’t forget to take a minute to see what is passing you by. This common merganser was out teaching her little ones how to fish. The scenery is hard to beet while on the Kenai river sockeye salmon fishing as well.
Guided sockeye salmon fishing will continue through the middle of August so it is not to late to get your seat on the boat to chase these great fighting fish.

Hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July holiday! We were out on the river enjoying the sun and some kasilof river king salmon fishing. kasilof river Fishing was good with some bigger fish showing up. The fish of the day was a big Kasilof river king salmon.
Often in July we see fish in the 50 pound range caught on the kasilof river. We pride ourselves on staying up to date with what’s going on and the tactics that are producing fish on the Kasilof and kenai rivers. You can count on our guide service to put for the best effort to make your fishing experience in Alaska a good one. Today Plugs seem to still be working best in the tidal water. I’m running a 50lbs. leader that is about 5 foot long 65 feet out in front of the the boat.
Thanks for keeping up and we look forward to fishing with you on your next kenai or kasilof river guide trip, We are booking trips for next season now and will work with you to build a custom alaska fishing vacation.

The fishing on the Bristol Bay float trip for 6 days was great! Everyone returned to Anchorage with a few sore. Dry flies, Mouse patterns, and streamers all produced Arctic Grayling, arctic char and Rainbow trout.
Here is a picture of one of the guys with a trophy sized Grayling taken on day 2 of the float.
Look for many more photos of this trip to come in the future. I love to put together special trips like this one for groups that are willing to take on the adventure. Remote Bristol bay float trips take some planning so if this sounds like something that interests you make sure that we start planning it early in the year. We have great rafts and top of the line gear that is provided for the adventure. All you need is a fishing license, personal items and a sense of adventure. We will take care of the rest for you.
Don’t forget that the season is in full swing and if you would like your spot on the boat for a guided kenai river fishing trip give us a call or email us!

Alaska fly out rainbow trout fishing trips are really something to look forward to. I leave tomorrow on a 7 day adventure in Bristol Bay for trophy rainbow trout and king salmon fishing. This is a personally designed trip for the HARD CORE, adventurous fisherman that wants to get the most out of there experience. We will be in state of the art tents, comfortable 18 ft. rafts and eating like kings. On this adventure we will be floating 72 miles of river, starting in the high country and ending up in dense, forested country near where the Nushagak River starts. From the wildlife to the fish that haven’t seen a fly in a year or more, we expect to do very well on this trip. Grayling, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, chum salmon, king salmon, and northern pike are all expected to be seen on this trip. There is lots of planning involved in a trip like this so if you are interested in putting a back country trip of a lifetime together in the bush of Alaska make your plans with our guide service early. We will only fish up to 6 people on two rafts on our back country trips to ensure a personal trip that you are never going to forget.
I will not be able to get back to emails or phone calls until the 25th of June starting tomorrow. Don’t hesitate to leave a voice mail or send an email if you are inquiring about a trip and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
Big Bristol Bay rainbow trout often take mouse patterns viciously in the spring before the salmon show up. We plan to do very well on patterns such as this one!
If your interested in booking a like this or a guide trip on the kenai river give us a call and we’ll work closely with you to make it happen!

Guided Kasilof river King Salmon fishing has been good. Lots of take downs, a few fish coming unbuttoned and plenty of fish landed. Water levels are in very good shape and it’s looking to be a great year for King Salmon fishing on the Kasilof River. King salmon fishing is also picking up on the Kenai river too. I have mostly fished the Kasilof river this week but have a few trips are booked for on the Kenai river coming up soon.
Here is one of the fish we boated on yesterdays adventure with our guide service. These bright King Salmon are hard hitting and make screaming runs. Most of the fish caught in the last few weeks have had sea lice on them. This is a good sign of fresh fish in the river.
Remember King Salmon season ends at the end of July so it is not to late to get your spot on our boat.
You can contact us at www.driftingonthefly.com to book your next guided fishing trip on the Kasilof or Kenai river! Guided Kasilof river fishing trips are 275.00 per person and we can accommodate parties up to 20 people.

Today’s report from your Kasilof river salmon fishing guide. Every day has shown improvement and more and more fish are hitting the river. I believe that this coming week will be the best of the first run of King Salmon. We’ll just have to be out there and see what happens. Bait is still producing more fish that plugs for my boat. With the water level coming up more and more everyday I’ve switched to a larger set of hooks and am now running a longer leader for my eggs and spin and glows. Larger fish are starting to come into the river, we had one get off the hook today that may have reached 40-45 pounds?
The weather has been awesome, 65-80 degrees on the river this week thus far and not a cloud in the sky! We hope it continues? Days are long still and there is lots of fishing opportuities on the Kenai peninsula.
If you would like to book a trip on the Kenai or Kasilof river salmon fishing guide trip give us a call. You can find more out about booking a guided king salmon fishing trip with www.driftingonthefly.com or feel free to give us a call at 907-382-6808.

Guided Kasilof river King Salmon fishing has been very good this week. Though we are having to work hard for the fish that we do catch.
These chrome Kasilof river king salmon where caught on the incoming time on both plugs and spin and glows with cured salmon roe. Tides heavily influence our start times in the morning. When you are booking a guided kasilof river king salmon fishing trip we will discuss our start times then or we will wait until the time of the trip gets closer to determine the timing of the start.
Pay attention to what the tide is doing and you’ll be sure to find fish moving around. I’ve found that the incoming tide has produced the best fishing this week.
If you are interested in guided fishing on the Kasilof river this spring for Alaska King Salmon give us a call here at Drifting on the Fly. We have many different types of fishing trips available and are happy to line you up on an experience that would fit your needs. Kenai river king salmon trips are available as well.

A day in Homer Alaska halibut fishing when you are visiting the Kenai Peninsula can be very rewarding and add some weight to the fish box. My saltwater captians and I have been working together for a few years now and he has never shown a client a bad trip. Yesterday I had a chance to take my uncle Fred Sager out and even in inclement weather he still worked to get us into nice halibut.
A few average fish and a couple of nicer fish made for a good box of fish for my Uncle to take home a share with the family. On a trip out on the boat make sure, even if the weather is nice that you take plenty of extra cloths. Saturday could have been miserable if we were not dressed properly!
After getting your halibut in the box if time allows Tim will try to get you into some king salmon when they are available. Nothing like a Captain will to go the extra mile for you when your on a trip of a lifetime! Thanks Tim,
If your interested in adding a day on the saltwater on your next trip to kenai peninsula, Alaska. Let us know and we will be happy to line you up with one of the most experienced captains. Also if you are interested in a Kenai or Kasilof river guide trip we will gladly hook you up there too.
