Fly fishing for king salmon today and Larry Tumblin hooked up to what turned out to be a 35 lb. King Salmon this Summer. 10 wt. fly rods and sinking lines and heavy leaders did the trick. What was the fly? Stay tuned – I will show you how to tie it this fall, once things slow down.

Fly fishing for king salmon can be one of the most frustrating things to do or it can be fast and furious. We have spent a few days in search of king salmon on the fly for a special group from the east coast and finally hit the sweet spot. The guys have hooked up on quit a few fish but the fish haven’t been playing very fair. I like to use a 10 weight or bigger for king salmon and more times than not I wish I had a 12 weight. The fly’s are big and the lines are heavy. A heavier rod makes for a more comfortable days fishing and when you do have a 35+ pound fish on it gives you that much more back bone to get the fish to shore. for more information about our alaska fishing guide service contact us here: Contact

Kenai peninsula guided fishing for Trophy Rainbow trout fishing combined with sockeye salmon fishing makes for a fun day. Kenai river king salmon fishing is also available at this time of year. The Sockeye Salmon fishing should pick up again near the end of the first week of July and be good through the second week of Aug. That has been the norm for the last few years. These are hard fighting fish with a built in instinct to trash gear you can plan on some excitement. If you plan to chase these fish on your own make sure that you put a little extra in your gear so the odds of getting them to shore gets a little better.
The Rainbow trout bite has been very good while fly fishing leeches and minnow imitations. I like to fish a down and across drift right now with a sink tip line. The water has been very clear but is now coming up with just a little color. In the bigger water the larger leech patterns show up better and produce the most strikes. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guided kenai river trip.
Thanks and tight lines

Kasilof river King Salmon fishing is getting good now. On a guide trip last Tues. and took a beautiful fresh 20lbs. King salmon. We had a few other hits and caught a few Dolly Varden, Steel head, and flounder in the tidal water. Things are looking up and the fishing should only get better on the kenai peninsula.
