kenai river guided trip Archives - Drifting On The Fly

Fall trout fishing on the Kenai River can be epic. My good friend Nigel Fox caught this Rainbow Trout on his favorite flesh fly. If the temperatures are right at this time of year we will allow you to remove the fish briefly from the water for a picture Late Oct. when the conditions are right you might switch it up and try one of your favorite flesh flies. Many flies work at this time of year. Leech’s, flesh flies, egg patterns, a variety of nymphs and many more, so techniques change as we change patterns. The mornings are cold and winter is knocking on our door now. I would like to be able to chase kenai river rainbow trout for a few more weeks though. Guiding on the kenai river is very exciting for me because you never know when the opportunity for a fish of a lifetime is willing to bite. We offer both fly fishing and spin fishing guided trips. No matter how you would like to fish the Kenai River we can accommodate your style. Upper river drift boat trips and middle kenai river power boat trips available. I hope that if you are interested in a guide trip that you will contact us for your next Alaska fishing vacation. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly, LLC

When I think of Salmon on the fly rod I think Silver Salmon fly fishing. The fishing typically gets good by mid to late July on some of our fly out fishing and mid Aug. to the end of Oct. on the Kenai peninsula and the kenai river. In the right conditions silver salmon will take the fly very aggressively. I’ve even had many opportunities to take these fish on top water. Bunny flies, articulated flies, marabou flies, leaches, spoon flies, etc. are just a few patterns that will work well for these fish. I find a slow strip in slow water or swinging your flies in faster water draw the most strikes. I prefer a strip set or scissor strike to set the hook. This way if you miss the fish you don’t pull the streamer out of the strike zone and often the fish will come back to give you a second chance. If you are fishing from a boat make sure you fish the fly all the way back to the boat. I see fish chasing all the way to the boat for a last chance strike. If you are interested in matching your skills with these fish make sure you contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com and we’ll get you lined up on a alaska fishing guide tip.
