And just like that, the 2019 season is in the books. And what a season it was. I have said it a million times but will say it again, every season has its own distinct personality and 2019 was indeed unique. Unfortunately, our 2019 king runs seemed to follow an all too familiar trend with …
Much like the early season, August and now September are flying by and the season is quickly reaching its final stretch. It has been an incredible season in many regards for us and for the Kenai Peninsula and Alaska in general. Never have we seen such moderate (hot) temperatures and back to back to back …
Its’ very hard to believe we are already halfway through August with less than two months left in our 2019 season. It has been a very busy season thus far with many twists and turns in our various fisheries. In our last report we were just beginning to enter the month of July and were …
Its hard to believe it is July 1 and the first third of our season is actually behind us. It has been a very positive early season on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers with lots of excellent fishing. It has also been a very good season on the salt-water with excellent halibut fishing in Cook …
After 28 seasons guiding on the Kenai River, you would think the summers would blur together. Remarkably, each season has proved to be surprisingly unique and 2018 was definitely no exception.

The last month of our annual piscatorial journey is upon us and we are putting the wraps on yet another incredible summer fishing the Kenai Peninsula and surrounding waters. Alaska has a way of managing its own time, like being put in a very special time capsule that eventually comes to an end but not …
It was definitely an August to remember here on the Kenai River as it was one of the best early runs of Kenai Silver Salmon we have seen in several years. The fish arrived early in the first week of August and just kept coming at a very steady and strong pace until late into …
First, I apologize for the long time between reports but as is usually the case, peak season affords very little free time and computer time takes second fiddle to fishing and taking care of our many guests. It has indeed been an extremely busy summer and now that July is behind us, we have moved on …
It has been several weeks since I last posted and that means things have been very busy for us. It has overall been a very challenging season from a fishing perspective with less than stellar returns statewide for most species of salmon. Here on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, our June returns of king salmon …
The 2018 season is well underway and just like every season it has exhibited its own unique personality. Perhaps the most noteworthy characteristic to the season has been the lack of warm weather, especially in mid to late May with temps still dipping into the thirties overnight and struggling to break into the sixties during the …
