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.

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.

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.

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

The King salmon bite has been slower over the past couple of days though we are catching a few, a couple of them have been very nice fish over 40 pounds. We are focusing on the Kasilof river now since the Kenai River is getting so much preasure. From reports that I have gotten the Kasilof river is fishing better right now anyways. To give anglers the best opportunity we have been spending most of our time in the tidal water looking for fresh fish that are pushing in.

By the middle of August the bite should be off the hook. We are taking bookings for the rainbow trout and silver salmon fishing this fall. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly, LLC
