WILLIE PREDATOR POWER BOAT

Posted on by Drifting-admin
WWW.DRIFTINGONTHEFLY.COM

Drifting on the Fly, LLC proudly added a Willie Predator power boat to the business. The boat is 20 feet long and is 72 inches wide and is powered by a 50 horse power Mercury motor and has a 9.9  horse power Mercury motor for secondary power. Though running a drift boat on the Kenai River for salmon, Dolly Varden and rainbow trout has its place, the power boat has its benefits as well.

 

The use of a powerboat for rainbow trout fishing on the middle Kenai River is a very effective way to have a chance at big Kenai River rainbow trout. This boat also allows us to easily fish the lower Kenai River for king salmon.  With a 50-horse power engine on the back of the boat running multiple drifts through a hole can be done in no time.

The option to fish for rainbow trout, silver salmon, or sockeye salmon on the middle river in a power boat is now available.  I have owned and run power boats for years and it is nice to finally add one to our guided fishing operation.  

We are looking forward to another great fishing season. Booking a guide trip on the kenai river with Drifting on the Fly easy!

Alaska fly out fishing trips

Drifting On The Fly, LLC
Alaska fly out fishing trips are a great way to experience the state and make for a hardcore fishing adventure that you will never forget. Since 2003 we have been working hard at exploring remote rivers in Alaska so that we can offer back country trips as a part of our operation.  I have fished many rivers only accessed by float plane and in June of 2009 we traveled to the headwaters of King Salmon river to start a week long float.  A great group of guys and committed fly anglers in search of Arctic Grayling, Arctic Char, pike, king salmon and Rainbow Trout!  We put this short video of the trip together to share with you.  I hope that you find watching the video as interesting as we did making it! The video can be found on You tube. If you are interested in an extreme trip in the wilds of Alaska give us a call to find out more on how you get it booked today!  These kind of trips are not for everyone but for groups that don’t mind roughing it a bit it can be quit an experience.

KENAI RIVER TROUT FISHING

Posted on by Drifting-admin
Drifting On The Fly, LLC
Kenai river trout fishing in the winter can be good one day and just OK the next.  Inconsistent temperatures has a lot to do with this.  The peak season of kenai river trout fishing is June, August, September and October. The first weekend of Dec. was beautiful on the Kenai river.  We didn’t catch a ton of rainbow trout but enough to keep us motivated.  Skilak lake is now starting to freeze over and wade fishing opportunities are about all that is available now.  The weather was excellent today with temperatures over 30 degrees!  I wasn’t out on the Kenai river but I know a few people that took full advantage and look forward to the report.  Winter fishing is a great time of year to get out on the Kenai river, so pick a window of good weather and get outside!  Good luck and we’ll see you out there. Keep us in mind for your summer trip to the kenai peninsula as well.  If you would like to inquire about a Kenai river trout fishing trip give us a call. Peak season kenai river trout fishing trips are getting very popular.  Make sure if you are interested in this special time of year that you book early in the year to ensure your spot on the boat!  We have many guided fishing trip opportunities on the kenai river and surrounding areas so gives us a ring and lets talk about your next fishing trip to Alaska!.     Tight Lines, Scott

Homer Alaska lingcod and Halibut fishing

If you are visiting the Alaska in the fall and the weather is right for you, Homer alaska Lingcod and halibut fishing can be very good.  Be sure to dress for a colder days of fishing though. You can always take off layers but if you don’t have them you cant put them on!  Be prepared for 25 – 50 degrees after mid September.  This is my best lingcod to date! 60+ pounds!

Just because it’s getting a little cold doesn’t mean that there are not some great fishing opportunities on the Kenai peninsula. We had a great day in late Sept. and the best part was that we were the only boat out there!  Weather in the fall can be very unpredictable.  You line up a saltwater trip and get blown off due to weather we will be happy to replace your day with a trip on the Kenai river.  We will do the best we can to make your trip as fish filled as possible tight lines and keep saltwater fishing in mind on your next fall trip to Alaska!

Rainbow trout fishing on the Kenai River

Posted on by Drifting-admin
Fall Rainbow trout fishing on the kenai river has been very good this fall.  Friends and clients  are all getting into big fish and lots of them.  Follow the sockeye salmon and you will be sure to find a concentration of quality rainbow trout.  Flesh flies are starting to really produce some good fish as well.  The fishing season is coming to an end fast but there is still time to get out on the river with us one more time. We offer a quality guided fishing operation and would love to show you what we know about this area.

This picture is of Kim Sager with a 30 inch rainbow trout caught in the kenai river canyon this fall.  Kim has been fly fishing this area for years and this is the biggest fish she has landed.  A monster Kenai river rainbow isn’t landed on every trip but the odds definitely go up when you fish where they live.  If you think that you may like to fish this season call asap to reserve your spot.  Only a few more weeks of fishing and limited spots are available! Thanks for following us and steelhead season is right around the corner! call today to book a guided kenai river rainbow trout or steel head trip Tight lines, Scott

Guided Kenai river trout fishing

Posted on by Drifting-admin
Taking a guided kenai river trout fishing trip will improve your odds of landing that fish of a lifetime.  We spend a lot of days chasing rainbow trout here in Alaska ever year and the Kenai river offers some of the best road accessible trout fishing in the world.  You can go on a do it yourself fishing trip on this system and have a great time but to have someone that fish’s it every day and also has the means of transportation is worth it’s weight in gold.  We can fish the Upper, Middle and lower kenai river with our boats.  Depending on the time of year will determine where we fish.  If you have a section of river already on your mind give us a call so we can schedule your trip in the most productive times of year.
