2013 Coho return one of the best ever! Through the many years I have guided on the Kenai River, I have seen ups and down in all the salmon returns. This cyclical boom and bust is all part of the salmon’s natural existence, there are good years and there are bad years. This years return …
Please take a moment to look back on the 2013 fishing season with us. It was definitely one to remember with lots of spectacular fishing and great memories! https://mgfalaska.com/2013-year-in-review-and-fishing-reports/
Looking back on a fishing season and attempting to recap the many memories that accumulate in a summer of guiding is never easy. After taking people fishing on the Kenai River and surrounding waters for past 23 years straight, you can just imagine how people, fish and experiences have a natural tendency to flood the …
To my utter amazement, it’s November! Each year time seems to pass by so much faster and this season on the Kenai Peninsula was no exception. With the stroke of an oar we went from cold May mornings on the Kasilof looking for the first kings of 2013 to just recently watching October winds wrestle the …

Spectacular Silvers, World Class Trout and lots of Wildlife! August can be an unbelievable time to visit the Kenai River and this year is shaping up to be one of the best I can recall in many seasons. The early run of Kenai Silvers continue to produce limit catches and tons of action. We have …
Reds Wane, Silvers Shine and more Giant Trout! As we move toward the middle of August, there are a number of changes happening throughout our fishing destinations. On the Kenai River, sockeye salmon are definitely reaching the end of their run though scattered reports of fresh reds still being caught by those willing to put …
Peak season brings a flood of reds, giant rainbows, a trickle of kings and the first silvers of the season. I will begin this fishing report by saying this is by far the most favorable weather season we have ever experienced here in Alaska. We have had week after week of beautiful bluebird skies accompanied …
