As we pass the mid point of July, peak season is definitely upon us. The King salmon woes of recent seasons have once again persisted into the late run of Kenai King Salmon and additional restrictions were announced this past Saturday July 19, stepping down the fishery to catch and release only. With returning numbers …
As we approach the mid point of July, fishing on the Kenai River has been very good for sockeye salmon as well as rainbow trout. King fishing opened up on July 1 and was very slow but more kings are entering the river daily and fishing success is improving. As always, we have been advising …
The summer is rolling right along and so is the great fishing. Our primary focus has been on the Kasilof for sockeye and this fishery has been nothing short of outstanding so far. ADF&G Sonar counters have indicated a record number of sockeye have entered the Kasilof River thus far, with over 100,000 in the river to …
Alaska Fishing Report: June 16, 2014 It has been a very unique summer as always here on the Kenai Peninsula and our early season was largely highlighted by the 200,000 acre Funny River Fire.

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 …
The Kenai River is finally dropping (once again) as yet another high water event moves through the middle river. After very high water for almost all of September, the river was finally beginning to show signs of setting into more normal September shape when the Skilak Glacier Ice dam began to release and the river …
September Silvers, Bears and Trout!
