Join Drifting on the Fly for some great steelhead fishing in Alaska on the Anchor river the first weekend in Oct. We have a great camp set up that has enough room for many tents in the same area. We are wanting to share camp with those that have fished with us, follow our blog and receive our newsletters. So if you are able to make it and like what our company is all about feel free to show up and make yourself part of the 2009 steelhead festivities. Camp is now set up and the steelhead are in!!
This is not a guided fishing weekend but a weekend to get together and share some good times. although we will be willing to help out with technique, casting and reading water to those that are interested in learning a little more about catching the most explosive fish in Alaska!

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

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.
Drifting On The Fly, LLCRainbow trout and dolly varden fishing on the kenai river continues to get better ever day. It is easy to book a guided kenai river trout fishing trip, just give us a call and we will hook you up.

Guided Kasilof river King salmon fishing is officially over on the Kenai peninsula now. The end of July marks the end of King salmon fishing on the Kenai peninsula. Though it was a great season we are now geared up and focused on Silver Salmon, Sockeye salmon and rainbow trout fishing now.

I had the pleasure of fishing with my family on the last day of King salmon season and this 53″ Buck took an orange spin and gloe with some cured salmon eggs. We ended up landing this fish more than a mile from where it was hooked!! This is a very large King salmon caught on the Kasilof river and everyone is very proud of it. Our boat has been fishing good and this is a great way to end the King salmon season here in Alaska.
Though king fishing season is over look for more pictures and info about king fishing with us in the future from us. The season is really not that far away so if you are interested in a prime date be sure to book early. The last three weeks in July on the Kenai Peninsula seem to book faster and faster each year. Guided kasilof or Kenai river King salmon fishing can be a great experience like my family had when you are with a guide that takes pride in his job

Kasilof River king salmon fishing has been great! Good fishing and less crowds has made for a great season on the Kasilof river. It is however getting more popular every year, it is the sister river to the Kenai river and big fish are caught often. These fish are here and every year someone gets schooled on a fish that might very well be the next world record. If you are interested in the challenge of fishing for King Salmon from a drift boat give us a call to book your guide kasilof river king salmon fishing trip today.

This is one of the 3 fish these two guys caught this day! On the Kasilof river you do not have to quit fishing if you have harvested a fish. Though we try not to take bites away from other fisherman you will have a line in the water if everyone hasn’t limited out for the day! Odds are better drift boat fishing the Kasilof river.
We have stepped it up to a 30″ leader with a large egg orange cheater behind a # 40 diver. This set up is sure to produce a fish if presented right and time out is spent.

After a long week of fishing some friends and I got a chance to break in a buddies new Willie classic power boat on Sunday. I don’t usually get a chance to catch a King Salmon on the kenai river myself but this day I did. Sometimes it takes sitting in the front seats to know how nice a guided fishing trip can be! I ended up boating this nice king salmon on the first pass of the morning. kenai river king salmon fishing can take some patients but today I was rewarded quickly. It can take a week, a day, or the very first pass to catch a fish like this and that is why they call it fishing.
We were fishing a 28 inch leader with a orange Cheater. Hope fishing is going well for everyone and look sharing more King Salmon information in the upcoming week!

Kenai river sockeye salmon fishing can be fast and furious! The 2nd run Kenai river Sockeye salmon are starting to show up in good numbers. Today we saw lots of fish moving through and look to see even more in the next couple of days.
This is one of the Sockeye salmon we caught today fishing Kenai River. A long leader with just enough weight to bounce along the bottom will get you hooked up on one of these hard fighting fish.
While out on the river don’t forget to take a minute to see what is passing you by. This common merganser was out teaching her little ones how to fish. The scenery is hard to beet while on the Kenai river sockeye salmon fishing as well.
Guided sockeye salmon fishing will continue through the middle of August so it is not to late to get your seat on the boat to chase these great fighting fish.

There are many ways of cleaning kenai river king salmon and this is just one of them. A great way to remove scales from a big king salmon is to use a power washer. Some good friends of mine showed me this a few years ago and it will work on any fish that you wish to remove scales before filleting. This will cut down on weight for shipping and keep your fillets “fishy” smell to a minimum.
Use the power wash before you gut or do any cutting to the fish for the best results.
Try it on your next salmon and see if it work for you too. It is the sportsman’s responsibility to take care of anything that you harvest and I seem to learn more about different ways to take care of my harvest every year. For filleting king salmon I prefer a stiffer blade for cutting down along the backbone but then I switch back to a more flimsy blade when it is time to remove the ribs from the fillet.
We hope this help and if you have any questions or would like to book your next Kenai River King Salmon fishing trip give us a call.

What age is to young to come out on a King Salmon guide trip? Fishing for Kings can be a lot of work so it depends on the person. We like to see family’s out on the water spending time together so all ages are welcome. Don’t hesitate to get a young person into fishing as early as possible.
The outdoors is a great place to spend quality time with your family.
This young man at the age of 11 caught two beautiful king salmon on the Kasilof river a few days ago. The only help he had was getting the rod out of the rod holder and the rest was his.
A few other fish were hit and caught this day but I’ll remember the smile on his face more than I will the fish! That’s what it is all about, making memories with friends and family in the outdoors.
If a day on the water with your family is in need feel free to book your next kenai peninsula guide trip with us. we can acomodate groups as small as 2 and as large as 20. Give us a call today to line up your next king salmon guide trip in Alaska.
