Resurrection bay fly fishing

Resurrection bay fly fishing when the silver salmon are in is a great way to spend a day in Alaska. No wind and 75 degrees is a recipe for a great day on the salt. I was throwing a Jim teeny super magnum sinking line and was able to entice a lot of silver salmon to take the fly. 20130715-155541.jpg 20130717-125632.jpg Many other species were caught on bait and tackle but whenever I can entice a fish to take the fly it makes the day so much sweeter! Fly fishing or just fishing trips are available and we are happy to Getty lined up. Give us a call at 907-382-6808 or email is from here on the sight.

Kenai River Rainbow Trout Fishing

June 11th is the day that the entire Kenai River is open to rainbow trout fishing.  We will start our season off fishing the Middle Kenai river in a drift boat until the 15th of June.  This allows us to fish in a preferred section of the river that is closed to the use of power boats.  Once the river opens up to the use of motors in this section we will then offer guided trips with the power boat.  Drift boat trips will still be offered if this is your preferred boat to fish out of or if we are fishing in the Upper Kenai river.  Both Boats are effective ways to pursue Kenai river rainbow trout. kasilof river drift boat powerboat1           Kenai river Rainbow trout fishing will continue to be good through the end of June.  In July the rainbow trout fishing tends to tapper off a little but then picks back up again in early August.  In August September and October Kenai River rainbow trout fishing will continue to be good.  The Kenai river offers excellent opportunities for trophy fish on both fly and light tackle.  Our Guide service will supply all tackle, flies, waders (if needed), rain gear (if you do not have your own) and rods needed for your trip.  We also will have water, hot coffee, and snacks on board.  You will need: sunglasses, extra layers of clothing, a packed lunch, and a valid fishing license for the day. Along with guided Kenai river rainbow trout fishing trips, we also offer guided king salmon fishing, silver salmon fishing, sockeye salmon fishing, dolly varden fishing, arctic grayling fishing, and steelhead fishing depending on the time of the season.   All of these species of fish make for an exciting adventure in Alaska.  I fish most every day during the South Central Alaska fishing season and take great pride in showing a quality trip to our guests.  Give us a call or contact us here on the site and we will get you lined up on a great fishing trip on the Kenai Peninsula or surrounding areas here in Alaska.

Guided Kasilof River King Salmon Fishing

RICH KETTERMAN KING SALMON Headed to the Kenai Peninsula in search of a Guided Kasilof River King Salmon Fishing? Consider the Kasilof River a great option!  This fishery is the located 12 mile from Soldotna Alaska and is the sister river to the Kenai River.  It is also a drift boat only King Salmon fishery which means there are no motors allowed and pressure is way less than on the Kenai River, though popularity is growing every year. kasilof river drift boat The Kasilof river has two distinctive runs of King Salmon. The First run of fish start to show up around the middle of May and usually peaks by the middle of June.  These early run Kings will typically run between 20 and 30 pounds with an occasional fish weighing over 30 pounds.  During the early season the river is much lower than it is in late June and July.  It is still cold in the high country and the runoff isn’t as heavy yet.  This is the time to come if you are looking to hook a King Salmon on the fly.  As the water rises there is more glacier silt that clouds the river and less bank fishing opportunity to fly fish. The second run of Kasilof River King Salmon start to show up near the end of June mixing in with the remainder of the first run fish and will keep coming in through the end of King salmon season.  July 31st is the last day that we are allowed to target these fish.  These fish tend to be quite a bit bigger than the first run of fish, averaging 30-40 pounds and with many fish caught every year reaching 50 pounds or larger. The Kasilof river offers some great fishing opportunities, chances to see wildlife and is in a very peaceful setting.  Sit back, relax and wait for one of these large, hard fighting fish to latch onto your line.  If you are interested in a guided King Salmon fishing trip on the Kenai Peninsula I think that the Kasilof river is a great place to fish. kasilof king salom fishing Give us a call at (907) 382-6808 or contact us through the site by clicking on the book now link!

Back yard moose

You never know what you are going to run into in alaska. I Watched a mature moose jump a 5′ fence in the back yard! Guess the grass (snow) was greener on this side of the fence. Glad we looked before letting the dog out. That could have been awful. 20130225-002014.jpg

Happy new year

Kim and I are now home from the hospital with our daughter Katherine Mary Sager (Kate). The three of us couldn’t be happier. Mom and daughter are healthy and life is good. I hope that everyone had a great New Years this year! It’s been unseasonably warm here in south central Alaska in the last few weeks. I would usually take full advantage of the weather and chase rainbow trout as much as a could. This time of year can offer some great fishing. We are taking bookings for the 2013 fishing season here in Alaska. If you are dreaming of catching a hard fighting salmon or a rainbow trout this year on the Kenai peninsula please give us a call anytime and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
