COLD WEATHER FISHING
Cold weather fishing on the kenai river!
Need a fishing fix? The Kenai River has good wintertime Dolly Varden fishing ,rainbow trout and is low enough to easily wade fish, unless your rod ends up like this one. I am afraid it’s there until Spring Break-Up???
When the temperatures dip and the snow falls we tend to slow down a little and wait until the warmest parts of the day to go fishing. Daylight isn’t as long now and we have to make the best of the last few trips of the year. Mostly steelhead fishing and rainbow trout on the kenai river is what we prefer but don’t count out some late season silver salmon fishing. This can make for an exciting day out on the water and casting longer distances can keep a guy warm!.

Drifting On The Fly, LLC FLY FISHING ON THE KENAI PENINSULA
Winter fly fishing on the kenai peninsula, Alaska
The Kenai Peninsula continues to produce both steelhead and rainbow trout in the right stream. The steelhead fishing continue to arrive daily in those streams that support steelhead and since these streams have not iced over yet, fishing has been productive. Streamers and eggs continue to produce with mixed results from day to day. Don’t hesitate to change patterns and technique fairly often if things don’t seem to be working. When you find low clear water be careful about spooking fish, once you spook them often they will just move into deeper water and hold in plain sight, fishing to a spooked fish or two is a waste of time. Move on! The Kenai River continues to provide great rainbow fishing. The Silver Salmon are pretty much done and the season ends today. Beads continue to produce the best in the rainbow department.
I am booking now for the upcoming fly fishing season, if you are interested give me a call 907-382-6808 or an email (scott@driftingonthefly.com)

Drifting On The Fly, LLC KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING
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.

907-382-6808 KENAI RIVER SILVER SALMON AND RAINBOW TROUT
Kenai River silver salmon and Rainbow trout fishing has been excellent! Guided fishing trips are available and with your help we will design a trip that best suites your vacation. Available trips are drift boat, power boat, walk and wade and fly out fishing trips with spin or fly tackle.
Rainbow trout Fishing on the Kenai river has been excellent and this will remain through the freeze up . Fly Out Silver Salmon fishing has been very good as well. The trips that we have taken this year have all ended up in good weather and good fishing. The chance in Alaska for bad weather to set in is always in the back of my mind but luck has been on our side this year. The Kenai and Kasilof are both only fishing fair for Silver salmon this week. However, this should pick up in the near future. Give me a call if you want to catch a few large Rainbows or Silver salmon. I still have a few days available in late August and September.

Drifting On The Fly, LLC KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING
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.

Drifting On The Fly, LLC King Salmon
Book your King Salmon fishing trip with us today. Booking King salmon trips on the Kenai river and Kasilof river. We have Drift boat, power boat and wade fishing trips available! The cost of a guided fishing trip for king salmon is 275.00 per person for full day fishing trips and 200.00$ per person for half day fishing trips.
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. I look for the King Salmon to push in the river in good numbers any tide now. The Kenai river Rainbow trout fishing has been good and keeps on improving the closer we get to the King salmon spawn. 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.
