KENAI RIVER DRY FLY FISHING

Posted on March 1, 2009 by Drifting-admin

THERE CAN BE SOME VERY GOOD KENAI RIVER DRY FLY FISHING. June is a great month to be in the middle of some great caddis hatches in Alaska. Smaller rivers and lakes on the Kenai peninsula have been the most productive when I am look for Rainbow trout on dry flies. Also look at the side channels of the Kenai river, there are some great place to find some rainbow trout eager to take a dry fly. Once the salmon show up in good numbers you can fish a dry fly all day long and never have a trout look up. When you do find fish looking up make sure you have a few caddis patterns to fall back on.

I’m a huge fan of peacock hurl, I mix it into most of my favorite patterns.

Brown or olive caddis patterns in a size 12 is a go to for us in June. Have a great time tying and we’ll catch you next time, give us a call to book your next Alaska Kenai river guide trip and if the timing is right we will dry fly fish the Kenai river for rainbow trout!

FLY FISHING RAINBOW TROUT ON THE KENAI RIVER

Posted on August 20, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Fly Fishing rainbow trout on the Kenai river can be a great guided trip. We offer many trips on the Kenai but specialize in finding bit trout on the fly. Fish like these aren’t landed everyday but are hooked often. Every once in a while a fish cooperates and an angler does everything right and we are able to put a big fish in the net.

King Salmon are starting to really starting to drop their eggs now and trout fishing the kenai river is heating up. The Rainbow trout are moving around and finding dinner at the the hottest spawning ground these days. The river should be full of eggs within the next week..!!! Think of any other trout fishing you know and match the hatch except with beads and flesh flies instead of may flies and stone flies. Just like any fishing pay attention to what’s happening in the stream and you’ll have a more productive day on the water.

Guide trips are available and Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our kenai River guide operation or what is going on with the Kenai River.

Thanks and tight lines,

KENAI RIVER DRIFT BOAT FISHING

Posted on July 28, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Kenai River Drift Boat Fishing is a great way to pursue King Salmon or any of the species that we fish for. It is a lot of hard work but the reward in landing a trophy fish with no power is great. Every Monday in June and July the Kenai river is closed to fishing with a motor on board and no sticker-ed guide boats are allowed on the river. Kenai river drift boat monday is really nice to get out there and fish for King Salmon with no noise, only a few wakes, and lots of friendly people. I didn’t have a booked trip today on the Kasilof river so my buddies and I set out early for the last drift boat Monday of the year. We missed a few fish and lost 2 really big fish (really big) and landed these two chrome King Salmon. Fishing was good for the most part and the river was a pleasure to be on today! Only 3 more days left in the season. There can be some down time to king Salmon fishing so it is easy to take in the scenery but when one of these bruisers takes the bait hold on and let the excitement begin! Check out more pics and information on our website at www.driftingonthefly.com for booking information or to contact us. We look forward to fishing with you soon. Tight Lines, Scott Sager

Guided Kenai River King salmon fishing

Posted on July 21, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Guided Kenai River King salmon fishing has been excellent! The Kenai river produce a few fish for me today but this was the first catch of the day at 7:00 am. The last two weeks in July have in the past produced some of the best king fishing of the season and I am pumped up to see what happens next. We’re fishing harder than we should probably but with the potential of fish like this I can’t keep my boat out of the water. We run full day guided kenai river king salmon fishing tips for 275.00 per person and will put you in the most productive runs that we can. I personally like to back troll my best running plugs and spinners below soldotna bridge in search of a trophy king salmon. If you are interested in hunting the largest of the pacific salmon on the kenai river make sure you give us a call.

Kenai River Guide Trip

Posted on July 9, 2008 by Drifting-admin

A popular Kenai river guide trip is for Sockeye Salmon, We offer many fishing opportunities in July and August for sockeye salmon. Some of the best gravel bars are accessible on the middle kenai river. We fish here almost exclusively during the peak of the sockeye salmon runs. We look for the Sockeye salmon fishing to pick up in the next few days also. Usually by July 14th the fishing is very good. Limits are 3 per person a day until the escapement is reached and then it is usually bumped up to 6 per person!

Second run king salmon are here. Fish have been showing up in good numbers now and you should be able to snatch on to a king if you put the time in. Both the Kenai and Kasilof have fished well for me the last couple of days. Quick fish worked best on the Kenai river and Spin and glows with a glob of eggs have been best on the Kasilof river for us.

If you are interested in a King salmon guide trip or sockeye salmon guide trip on the Kenai river or Kasilof river feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com

Thanks and good fishing

KENAI RIVER KING SALMON FISHING

Posted on February 21, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Kenai river king salmon fishing is worth the wait! Kenai river King Salmon can be tough to catch and harder to land but with time put in and a little luck it can come together too. This past year I had the opportunity to have my father in the boat in the first of June. It is early season and on the first pass we netted this big 51 inch king salmon out of a drift boat with no motor. Sometimes you can catch a fish right off the bat and other times it can take a day or two. That’s what keeps us fishing but by Keeping your gear in good shape and always remember to gear up with fresh line. You never know what will be tugging at the other end. If a Kenai river King salmon fishing guide trip is on your must have list, feel free to contact me and we’ll get you lined up. kenai River King salmon trips are 275.00 per person and we have both drift boat and power boat options for your days fishing.

KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING

Posted on August 24, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Rainbow Trout on the Kenai River, Alaska with guide Scott Sager

The Kenai river rainbow trout fishing has shown great improvements on the egg bite in the last two weeks. The fish below Skilak on the middle kenai river seem to be keying in on the egg spawn from the king salmon. I’m finding that size 10 mil. egg pattern is working best for me. A dead drift is very important, the kenai river rainbow trout see many anglers these days and get wise to a drift with the least bit of drag in it. keep your casts short and your rod high. The less line on the water is the best to prevent any drag at all. Also, do not count out the Sockeye Salmon, they have been stacking up and are ready to drop any minute in this area. Guided kenai river rainbow trout fishing is available now. We take booking for drift boat trips, power boat trips, wade fishing trips, and fly out fishing trips. We will work close with you to design a personal and unforgettable fishing trip in Alaska Thanks for checking us out and I’ll try to post again as soon as the fish key in on another bite.

KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING

Posted on July 31, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Kenai river rainbow trout fishing trips make for an exciting fishing vacation. We will custom design your trip for multiple days of fishing from the upper Kenai river to the lower parts of the system. We have wade fishing opportunities, drift boat, power boat and fly out trips available.

The Kenai river King Season has ended and I have to say it ended up being a good year. Now it is time to chase big rainbows trout, steel head and silver salmon. The rainbow trout fishing has been good this week and is steadily improving each day. We have had several nice rainbows pushing 30 inches since my last post here. These fish are keying in on the King Salmon Spawn now. Where ever you find a pair of Kings you can bet that there are many rainbows and dolly varden laying behind them waiting for them to drop eggs. This is the main source of food for the trout at this time of year. Give me a call if you are interested in a trip you will never forget. I still have a few openings for fishing trips in August and September. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly, LLC
