Happy new year

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Drifting-admin

Kim and I are now home from the hospital with our daughter Katherine Mary Sager (Kate). The three of us couldn’t be happier. Mom and daughter are healthy and life is good. I hope that everyone had a great New Years this year! It’s been unseasonably warm here in south central Alaska in the last few weeks. I would usually take full advantage of the weather and chase rainbow trout as much as a could. This time of year can offer some great fishing. We are taking bookings for the 2013 fishing season here in Alaska. If you are dreaming of catching a hard fighting salmon or a rainbow trout this year on the Kenai peninsula please give us a call anytime and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Merry christmas

Posted on December 26, 2012 by Drifting-admin

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Family, friends and giving thanks is what is most important to us. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday and enjoys all that the festivities has to offer. This year Kim and I where woken up early to signs of our first child’s arrival. We are now 8 hours into the labor and expecting an arrival anytime. The adventure begins and it will be one that we will never forget. Merry Christmas from all of us here at Drifting on the Fly.

SHIP CREEK

Posted on April 23, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Today I got off work, removed my studded tires and got my all terrains back on the truck. After I got my chores done I found time to go and explore a stream here in Anchorage. Ship Creek is a well known Salmon run river that holds a few Rainbow trout too. I didn’t spend much time fishing it but it did produce a couple of small rainbows. I was using a Murray hellgrammite size 10, dead drifting it. That fly seems to produce more fish for me than any other in my fly box! I don’t know if it is confidence or what.. but I tend to tie this fly own my line more times than not when I approach new water. I have never fished salmon in this stream but I understand that it can produce quit a few fish during the peak of the seasons as well.

I’m moving back down to the Kenai peninsula next week to get gear ready for the upcoming season. Dates are booking up fast so if your interested in a 2008 Drift Boat Fishing guide trip on the kenai river, reserve your spots soon. We hope everyone is enjoying the spring and we look forward to fishing with you. Tight lines, Scott Sager www.driftingonthefly.com scott@driftingonthefly.com 907-382-6808

WINTER KENAI RIVER FISHING

Posted on April 17, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Winter Kenai river fishing on the right days can be a lot of fun and very productive. The days are getting longer and there are a few bears starting to poke their heads out on the Kenai peninsula. This is an exciting time of year for me but winter just keeps hanging around. In Anchorage we were blessed with another 3-4″ of snow last week. Though it didn’t hang around we keep getting hit with cold weather. I plan to get out a little this weekend and try to chase a steal head down on the Kasilof River. For information on the upcoming season feel free to check out my website at www.driftingonthefly.com or email me at scott@driftingonthefly.com. Thanks and tight lines Scott
