View CENTENNIAL PARK BOAT LAUNCH in a larger map This is a very popular spot to launch your guide boat on the lower Kenai river for a days fishing for King salmon. There is a fee station set up shortly after you enter the park so make sure you stop for that. Along with camping and great gravel bars for fishing the park has picnic areas and of course the boat launch. The Kenai river runs fast in July and Centennial park has a nice back eddie with place to park your boat while you are parking your rig after launching. If you plan on fishing the top half of the lower kenai river this is a great place to launch your boat. I enjoy fishing sunkin island, poachers cove, river quest, big eddie and a few other runs that are easily accessible from Centennial park. business phone: 907-382-6808 or send an inquiry here!

KENAI RIVER GUIDE TRIP

Posted on October 6, 2008 by Drifting-admin

There are many kenai river guide trip opportunities available. Rainbow trout, dolly varden, king salmon, silver salmon, sockeye salmon and many more. We offer both fly and spin fishing trips so no matter how you would like to pursue these beautiful fish we can accommodate you. We also can provide drift boat and/or power boat guided fishing trips. Fall and early winter brings my favorite fish to chase to our nearby waters, giant rainbow trout on the kenai river and Silver salmon. The rivers along the Kenai peninsula are now starting to lose water and the fish are gearing up for the cold months ahead. Finding big rainbow trout, fresh steelhead and silver salmon isn’t a problem as much as keeping the guides on your rod open from ice. We are still chasing some really big fish now and I hope you are too. Our guide service continues to run trips until the end of October, weather permitting. All you will need is some warm cloths, waders (we can provide them), a packed lunch, and a fishing license. If you are interested in a late season kenai river fishing trip contact us here.

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
