Alaska Top Water Rainbow Trout Fishing

Alaska rainbow trout fishing   Under the right conditions and timing you can find some great Alaska top water rainbow trout fishing.  From Dry flies in small streams and lakes to big mouse patterns on the Kenai and other rivers in the state.  June proves to be a good month on the Kenai Peninsula for this and I have some great streams in other parts of the state that can provide top water rainbow trout fishing. It is my goal to explore at least one new river every year. This year we chose Lake Creek to see if it was worth adding to the arsenal.  At the begining of the trip we were able to get plenty of rainbows taking mouse patterns which made the trip worth while right then and there. We had high muddy water for the whole trip and still the river produced a good number of rainbow trout, grayling, and silver salmon .  On our 60 mile adventure through white water, rocks and canyons. We found ourselves thinking that we need to show this to you.   If you are interested in a 6 day 5 night back country float I think we found a great adventure for you!  I can put this Alaska guide trip together and work closely with you to build a fishing trip of a lifetime.

KENAI RIVER KING SALMON FISHING

kenai river king salmon Kenai river king salmon fishing should be something you do on your visit to the kenai peninsula in July!  Many fish are caught every year over 70 pounds and a 50 pound fish in not uncommon.  The Kenai River is big and runs fast in the summer months.  We have power boat so that we can rework the runs and if you prefer to fish out of a drift boat we can accomodate that as well.  Kenai River King Salmon Fishing out of a drift boat is a lot of work but very doable.  We landed this big kenai river king salmon out of my 18 foot Willie drift boat. Today After a day of guiding trout and Sockeye Salmon fishing on the kenai  river my buddy Ben Hancock and Dan Wikner arrived with perfect timing.  We unloaded the guide boat and grabbed the private boat to set out for a short drift on the Kenai between River Quest and Pillars boat launch.  Mid way through my friend hit his first king salmon ever and for sure one to remember! Good job Ben!!!! We are taking bookings for  kenai river King Salmon fishing Trips now.  Give us a call and we will work with you to design a trip that fits your vacation schedual.

KENAI PENINSULA GUIDED FISHING

WWW.DRIFTINGONTHEFLY.COM
Kenai peninsula guided fishing for Trophy Rainbow trout fishing combined with sockeye salmon fishing makes for a fun day.  Kenai river king salmon fishing is also available at this time of year. The Sockeye Salmon fishing should pick up again near the end of the  first week of July and be good through the second week of Aug.  That has been the norm for the last few years.  These are hard fighting fish with a built in instinct to trash gear you can plan on some excitement.  If you plan to chase these fish on your own make sure that you put a little extra in your gear so the odds of getting them to shore gets a little better. The  Rainbow trout bite has been very good while fly fishing leeches and minnow imitations.  I like to fish a down and across drift right now with a sink tip line.  The water has been very clear but is now coming up with just a little color. In the bigger water the larger leech patterns show up better and produce the most strikes.  If you have any questions feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guided kenai river trip. Thanks and tight lines Scott Sager

Kenai River Rainbow Trout Fishing

copy-of-41.jpg

Kenai river rainbow trout fishing on the Upper river today.  This young man caught one of the largest upper kenai river rainbow trout that I have landed on my boat. Kids should have all the luck! Landing Big upper kenai river rainbow trout on light tackle or fly is a real treat. The current is swift and there are many obstacles that can end a battle with a big fish quickly. So many times a fish like this will out play the most experience fisher person. A long run a couple of jumps and some good luck and this fish fell to the net and got to pose for the camera.  The Kenai river offers good fishing from the start of the system all the way to the end of the system.  Depending on timing and what is happening on the river will determine which section of river we will pursue.  I often fish the upper kenai river in the fall. Guided kenai river rainbow trout fishing trips cost 275.00 per person for walk and wade, drift boat fishing or power boat fishing. Tight Lines, Scott Sager Drifting On The Fly, LLC
