Winter fishing on the kenai river is much more work than fishing in the summer time, we have way more winter than summer so we have to improvise. The gage in Cooper Landing at the headwaters of Kenai River is reading about 355 cubic feet per second.  We should start to see a drastic change in stream flow with melt …

KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT

Drifting on the FlyALASKA AND KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISIHING

When fishing if I have the opportunity to get above a hole and watch for a minute, I take full advantage.  Spotting Kenai river rainbow trout is difficult in the glacier tented water but it can be done.  Watching over a gravel bar can be the most productive.  Early in the spring rainbows on the kenai river will cruise in …

KENAI RIVER FLY FISHING

Drifting on the FlyALASKA AND KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISIHING

Every spring while I’m out KENAI RIVER FLY FISHING I look for Terns gathering on the river.  Finding terns hoovering over the river more than likely means Parr Salmon have made the transformation to smolt and are heading out to sea. In the spring Parr salmon undergo a chemical change that lets them adapt from freshwater to the saltwater where …

ANCHOR RIVER KING SALMON FISHING

Drifting on the FlyALASKSA AND KENAI RIVER SALMON FISHING

Anchor river king salmon fishing can be crowded so I prefer to fish in the middle of the night.  Most anglers are in camp or limited out for the days fishing and that’s when I head out onto the water.  Fishing on the Kenai peninsula often means that you will be near other anglers while you are on the stream. …

ALASKA MOUSE PATTERNS

Drifting on the FlyDRIFTING ON THE FLY

Alaska mouse patterns can be fished in place through out the summer. Rainbow  Trout on mouse patterns?  This is awesome!  Trout need as many calories as they can consume in the short summers of Alaska.  I’ve seen 10 inch fish take a size 4 mouse pattern, ferociously.  Try dead drifting, swinging, slow or fast strips and you will be sure …
