Full-Day Upper Kenai River Guided Fishing Trip

Overview

Fish in one of the most beautiful settings on earth with us! Rare permits give us the ability to share this entire stretch of river with you.
Experience the upper Kenai river on an 8 hour full-day guided fishing trip in 20 foot custom drift boats sometimes stopping in the best places to do some Kenai River wade fishing from shore.
Fly fishing and spin fishing in small groups provides a personalized experience with your seasoned local guide/instructor Mike Adams. Enjoy the Chugach National Forest and/or the upper Kenai National Wildlife Refuge with the chance of seeing the local wildlife that abounds here.
Fishing on the upper Kenai River is an unparalleled experience. Fishing for native Kenai River rainbow trout and dolly varden char is an excellent choice. Cooper Landing salmon fishing is also fantastic during our two Kenai River sockeye salmon runs and our two silver salmon runs.

My husband and I had a great day fishing on the upper Kenai with Mike. We had already been one day earlier in the week with a different group and wanted to go back. Luckily Mike had availability on short notice. He took us to a different part of the river so we could see some different scenery and also catered to the type of fishing we wanted to do (fly fishing for silver salmon, trout, and dolly). We got lucky and both caught silvers. Mike was great about stopping to take pictures for us when we had a picture-worthy fish, he had hot chocolate when I was really cold from wading, and overall he was super knowledgeable. I am newer to fly fishing but I felt comfortable with Mike. He kindly taught me some new mending techniques and casting styles. At the end of the day we had to traverse Kenai Lake and as a highlight got to see four black bears along the bank! It was so cool. Mike took us over to them. The whole day never felt rushed at all. If we ever get to come back we’ll definitely book with Mike again.

Four of us had a great day fishing with Mike, caught Salmon, rainbows, and dolly. We got to spend the first part of the morning across the river from four grizzlies! Mike was super helpful, we were newer to the area and learned a ton from him! He clearly knows his stuff and knows the river!
