KENAI PENINSULA CLAM DIGGING

Posted on June 14, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Kenai peninsula clam digging can be spectacular. If you enjoy clams and are heading north to go fishing check the tide tables and plan your trip on the low of low tides. Any dates with a negative tide should produce good clam digging. Find a divet in the sand and start digging. I like to dig a couple times with a shovel to get close and then dig by hand. I tend to break less clams this way but many techniques work well and along with a good meal it is a ton of fun. Last week we had some great tides and my wife and I filled the bag with them. The law requires you to have a fishing license to dig and you have to keep any razor clam that you pull up. Those that get the hang of pulling up these fast, tasty guys up can keep 60 of them a day. The average clam is about 5 inches and you can score clams up to about 8 inches. If you have any questions about seeking clams out feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com Thanks and good fishing, Scott Sager

KENAI RIVER KING SALMON

Posted on May 31, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Kenai river King Salmon are coming in better numbers every day. The rivers both kenai and kasilof are fishing well right now. Drift fishing has still been hit or miss depending on the day. A few Sockeye Salmon are showing up in the Kenai River this week. Be sure to familiarize yourself if you plan to fish the Kenai river since a lot of regulation changes are now in effect for the 2008 season. Pay special attention to the 2-Stroke Motor restrictions. June 11 will open the Kenai River Rainbow Trout Season, until then this season is closed river wide. Check out this link for details on the regulation changes. Give me a call 907-382-6808 if you want to fish the Kenai or Kasilof, I still have a few days open in June as of tonight if you are interested in using our kenai peninsula guide service.

KASILOF RIVER KING SALMON FISHING

Posted on May 23, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Kasilof river King Salmon fishing is getting good now. On a guide trip last Tues. and took a beautiful fresh 20lbs. King salmon. We had a few other hits and caught a few Dolly Varden, Steel head, and flounder in the tidal water. Things are looking up and the fishing should only get better on the kenai peninsula.
