It is hard work fishing for king Salmon and can take some patients too but the reward is well worth it. The fish will weigh in the high 30 pound range and is fresh in from the ocean. The best time to catch a king salmon is when it first enters the river. They are full of energy and will flat out punish you. We offer king salmon trips on the kenai and kasilof rivers and have both drift and power boat options.
If you are interested in chasing a king salmon give us a call at 907-382-6808 or find us on the web at www.driftingonthefly.com 
This unlucky sockeye salmon decided to take a leech on the swing. After a long winter a fresh salmon on the BBQ is always looked forward too. A 10 to 12 pound fish on a 7 weight fly rod put up a great battle.
Seward has a lot off fun attractions to offer but this race is one of the community’s most loved events. Of you’re ever in Alaska on the 4th of July make sure you come to Seward for the race, parade and great food. You can even get chocolate covered bacon!! Yuck but you have to try it because it’s chocolate covered bacon.

Rubber sole wading boot have come a long way and should provide plenty of traction and you will not have to worry about bringing in any exotic species to any of our systems. I do highly recommend that you still rinse your boots off after each day of fishing if you plan on fishing different water systems while you are on your trip.
I ask that if you book with me that you please do not wear studded boots while fishing out of my boats. Bring them along for any shore fishing that we may do but they do tear up the aluminum flooring in our boats. Give us a call and we can get you lined up for a great day of fishing on the Kenai river.

This picture of our camp was taken along the Sag river near dead horse Alaska. Arctic char and grayling can be found here in good numbers when the water is flowing. When traveling north to fish make sure you have your timing right. There are many factors into getting the most out of your backcountry fishing trip. Weather, time, money, timing, and so on. Research your trip before talking to a guide service so that you have some knowledge of the timing of the runs and average weather condition for when you would like to go. For instance king salmon season closes on the night of the July 31st on the Kenai river but in a lot of the systems king salmon season closes much earlier than July 31st? This might help with the timing of your vacation if you really want to fish for king salmon.
It’s very important to be familiar with the rules and regulations so that we can protect this valuable resource. Many times there will be posted signs like this one along the stream but do not rely on this. Carrying a set of Alaska state fishing regulations with you is very important.
When bears are around on the river quit fishing and give them some space. This will ensure that we do not teach them any bad habits or associations with humans that they will remember the rest of their lives.
This alone is a great reason to hire a guide for your time on unfamiliar waters.
