Kenai Riverside Fishing

Description

Fishing Program

Kenai Riverside Fishing specializes in drift boat-based fly fishing trips on the upper Kenai River. The upper Kenai is a non-motorized stretch of water that meanders a scenic 17-miles from Kenai Lake to Skilak Lake. Their float trips focus on the 10 miles of premium water within the most wild and remote portions of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, including the famed "Kenai Canyon". This section of river is famous among anglers for its abundance and size of wild rainbow trout and Dolly Varden, along with its healthy runs of sockeye (red) and silver (coho) salmon. This particular trip is highly recommended for the casual angler seeking a well-rounded Alaskan experience as well as the serious fly-fisher aiming to land the fish of a lifetime. Kenai Riverside Fishing takes great pride in customizing each trip to meet your specific fly fishing desires.
