Located at the Kenai Lake bridge in Cooper Landing the upper Kenai river boat launch is a great place to access the river. Right at the boat launch is a great place to try an catch a rainbow trout or dolly varden if you do not have access to a boat. Here we will launch the drift boat for a days float trip down the Kenai river to Sportsman’s or Jim’s landing. The time of year varies when we meet at this location. This section of the Kenai river is good fly fishing or spin fishing at times for Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden. The salmon fishing can be good for the second run of sockeye salmon (Reds) and silver salmon as well. This is a drift only setting so there are no power boats allowed from Kenai Lake down to Skilak lake.

Here we will Launch and make our way down the middle kenai river back to bing’s landing. This is a very scenic trip and some consider it to be the best rainbow trout fishing on the kenai river at times.
