STEELHEAD FISHING THE KENAI PENINSULA

WWW.DRIFTINGONTHEFLY.COM
Steelhead fishing the Kenai Peninsula has been the best I have experienced this fall! The fishing continues to be great and as of right now the stream levels are perfect. We have seen days on fly out trips and on the Kenai peninsula of hooking up to 40 fish a day for the group.  Fish have been taking leeches on the swing and egg patterns on the dead drift.  The dead drift seems to be the most effective for us.  Our patterns used have been tweaked over the last 10 years and are proven in rivers throughout the state and in many rivers in the lower 48 now.  Average fish are around 30 inches and many fish are caught in the 35 inch range every year.   If you are interested in a guide trip on the kenai peninsula feel free to look us up.  I offer both walk in and drift boat fishing for steelhead.  Fly fishing or spin opportunities are available to get you hooked up on an acrobatic fish. Exclusive guided rates are available if you want to keep your group small and personal. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly, LLC

Kenai Peninsula Fishing Charters

WWW.DRIFTINGONTHEFLY.COM

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!

Thanks and tight lines Scott Sager

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.

Cordova Alaska Fishing

I will be in Cordova Alaska fishing for the next week for steelhead, sea run cutthroat, rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden.  The fishing should be good unless the rivers get blown out and it is calling for rain throughout the week. It’s that time in Alaska!  I haven’t been able to get out and fish to much due to the weather and work but that’s all over for now.  I hope that everyone is enjoying their spring and getting a line wet now and then. If you’re looking for a fishing trip in south central Alaska this season we’d be happy to Hook you up.  Check out our website at www.driftingonthefly.com or you can email me at scott@driftingonthefly.com for your next Alaska fishing guide trip!
