JODY AND HIS KASILOF KING SALMON — WWW.DRIFTINGONTHEFLY.COM

Drifting on the Fly, A Kenai peninsula fishing charters. One Great trip we offer is a guided charter on the Kasilof river. The Kasilof river has good steelhead, king salmon, sockeye salmon and silver salmon runs! We offer guided trips for all of the above! King salmon fishing on the Kasilof river was fair yesterday, with some bigger tides pushing in this week we are expecting the fishing to pick up even more. The egg bite is on, most of the fish are being caught on spin and glows with a small glob of eggs.

The Ninilchik river is now open for the remainder of the month for king salmon fishing. I recommend those that are interested in trying to catch a king salmon on the fly rod to search there. You’ll be able to find the most fish pushing in with the tides so pay attention to what’s going on there or we will be happy to provide a guided trip on one of the kenai peninsula’s rivers for you.

If you have any questions or would like to book a trip this season we are still taking bookings. You can reach us at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guide trip!

Thanks and tight lines Scott Sager

Little Susitna Trip

LARRY AND GLENN'S KING SALMON — WWW.DRIFTINGONTHEFLY.COM

The little susitna trip was a success!! Everyone hooked into King Salmon on fly rods, the food was great and plenty of it, the weather brought clear (sunscreen was definitely needed) and hot (70’s) days and everyone learned how easy it is to fish yourself to sleep! Back country trips are always a lot of fun though none of them go exactly like it is planned out on paper. Then again that’s part of the fun as well! We are planning a trip for 2009 and if you would like information on when and where as soon as it is available, please email me so I can put you on the list. We will continue to limit these trips to four people for 3 nights and 4 days on the river. This is also an excellent trip for when the silver salmon are running as well, the logistics are the same and the price is as well. Carlos, Glenn and Larry – Thank you, it was great! And congratulations to larry for landing the biggest king salmon of the fishing trip. It was a great battle and we enjoyed putting that one in the net. Go ahead and give us a call to line up your next back country fishing trip in Alaska.

FLY FISHING FOR KING SALMON

Posted on June 11, 2008 by Drifting-admin

Fly fishing for king salmon can take some patients but play your tides and look for pushes of fish to come by. The King Salmon are starting to show up in real numbers now. I took this fish on a blue and chart. Marabou fly, Size 3/0. A dead drift worked for this guy but sometimes you can get them on a few short strips at the end of the drift. This is good fishing and if you to would like to try your luck with a King Salmon feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guide trip.
