ALASKA SHEEFISH FISHING

Posted on September 7, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Alaska sheefish fishing is something that I have been wanting to do since I moved here in 2002. This past week I took a short trip but long drive to a little river above the Yukon river. This is the only road side fishery that I have found that sustains a fishable number of Sheefish! We fished for only a day but found that this smaller stream has a lot to offer. We found pike, grayling, dolly varden, and smaller sheefish. Sheefish can grow bigger than 50 lbs. but the biggest one we found was about 8 lbs. The little river that I am talking about is the Ray river about 30 mile or so north of Fort Yukon. Good fishing and I hope that you to can check this river out! We can hook you up with a sheefish fishing trip in alaska upon request. Give us a call or an email to find out more information on fishing in alaska.

The fine line of having enough and not is always in the back of my mind. Customer safety is very important to us. The cost of this all inclusive trip is $1400.00 per person for the 2007 season. This price Includes: transportation to stream and back to Anchorage, gear, tackle, food, beverages, tents and sleeping bags. Bring yourself, your fishing license, your camera and some clothes.

KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING

Posted on August 24, 2007 by Drifting-admin

Rainbow Trout on the Kenai River, Alaska with guide Scott Sager

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.

KENAI RIVER SILVER SALMON AND RAINBOW TROUT

Posted on August 11, 2007 by Drifting-admin

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.

KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING

Posted on July 31, 2007 by Drifting-admin

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. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly, LLC

King Salmon

Posted on July 20, 2007 by Drifting-admin

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. Tight Lines, Scott Drifting On The Fly, LLC
