IZAAK WALTON BOAT LAUNCH

Posted on July 31, 2011 by Drifting-admin

DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO IZAAK WALTON BOAT LAUNCH IN STERLING, ALASKA View IZAAK WALTON OR MOOSE RIVER BOAT LAUNCH in a larger map Most trips meet here for Rainbow trout, Silver Salmon and sometimes King salmon fishing trips. Izzak Walton boat launch in located at the moose river bridge in Sterling Alaska. The Izzak walton boat launch and state park has a very nice campground, picnic tables, and outhouses. This is one of my favorite state park facilities located on the Kenai river. The Moose river dumps into the Kenai only a short distance from the boat launch. It is a slow and shallow river and makes it very nice for launching a boat. There is also some great silver salmon fishing here as well when they are running. It is a toss up between meeting here or at bings landing. It usually depends on how busy the boat launch is at bings. If we are headed up river it takes about 15 minutes to pass bings launch up and head on to skilak lake. This is worth it if the wait to launch at bings is very long. Guided Kenai River Trip Rate $250 per person *LARGE GROUPS WELCOME *LODGING PACKAGES AVAILABLE *EXCLUSIVE BOAT PACKAGES -2 PERSON EXCLUSIVE STARTING AT $750.00 A DAY -3 PERSON EXCLUSIVE STARTING AT $950.00 A DAY Hope this helps out and we are looking for ward to fishing with you this year!

UPPER SKILAK LAKE BOAT LAUNCH

DIRECTIONS TO THE UPPER SKILAK LAKE BOAT LAUNCH View DIRECTIONS TO UPPER SKILAK LAKE BOAT LAUNCH in a larger map Upper Skilak Lake boat launch is a great place to camp, picnic, fish, view wildlife and pull your boat from a long day fishing the Kenai river canyon fishing for rainbow trout, dolly varden, silver salmon or sockeye salmon. I have seen black bears, brown bears, moose, and eagles at different times right at the boat launch. Here you will also find some of the most scenic camping on the kenai peninsula. If you plan on Shuttling your vehicle you can do that yourself or Wildman’s shuttle service will do it for you. You can call them at 907-595-1456 to find out about pricing. From the mouth of the Kenai river to the boat launch is about 8 miles. The weather is very unpredictable on the lake and with a small motor pushing a drift boat you have to be very careful on the days that you choose to make this trip. We offer trips through the Kenai Canyon and will be happy to line you up on a days fishing. If you are interested contact us here or give us a call at 907-382-6808 and we will get you lined up! business phone: 907-382-6808 or send an inquiry here!

BIG BRISTOL BAY GRAYLING — Drifting On The Fly, LLC

Alaska fly out fishing trips are a great way to experience the state and make for a hardcore fishing adventure that you will never forget. Since 2003 we have been working hard at exploring remote rivers in Alaska so that we can offer back country trips as a part of our operation. I have fished many rivers only accessed by float plane and in June of 2009 we traveled to the headwaters of King Salmon river to start a week long float. A great group of guys and committed fly anglers in search of Arctic Grayling, Arctic Char, pike, king salmon and Rainbow Trout! We put this short video of the trip together to share with you. I hope that you find watching the video as interesting as we did making it! The video can be found on You tube. If you are interested in an extreme trip in the wilds of Alaska give us a call to find out more on how you get it booked today! These kind of trips are not for everyone but for groups that don’t mind roughing it a bit it can be quit an experience. Tight lines, Scott

Rainbow trout fishing on the Kenai River

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.

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.

GUIDED KASILOF RIVER KING SALMON FISHING

Posted on August 5, 2009 by Drifting-admin

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 Tight lines, Scott

Bristol Bay float trip

Posted on June 28, 2009 by Drifting-admin

The fishing on the Bristol Bay float trip for 6 days was great! Everyone returned to Anchorage with a few sore. Dry flies, Mouse patterns, and streamers all produced Arctic Grayling, arctic char and Rainbow trout. Here is a picture of one of the guys with a trophy sized Grayling taken on day 2 of the float.

Look for many more photos of this trip to come in the future. I love to put together special trips like this one for groups that are willing to take on the adventure. Remote Bristol bay float trips take some planning so if this sounds like something that interests you make sure that we start planning it early in the year. We have great rafts and top of the line gear that is provided for the adventure. All you need is a fishing license, personal items and a sense of adventure. We will take care of the rest for you. Don’t forget that the season is in full swing and if you would like your spot on the boat for a guided kenai river fishing trip give us a call or email us! Tight lines, Scott Sager
