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 decided to book this trip with Mike on our recent trip to Alaska and boy was it a great choice. Mike is so passionate about what he does and he really takes the time to teach and coach you along the way. We had a bonus of seeing 3 bear cubs that was the highlight of our trip not to mention catching some beautiful Salmon. It was great interacting with Mike and come to find out he grew up just a few hours from us! Will definitely fish with Mike if we make it back to Alaska!

We chose the Upper Kenai River trip for a more relaxed and beautiful area to float and boy was that the correct choice! We lucked out with beautiful weather and even saw a couple bears and bald eagles. And of course, Mike put us on all the fishing honey holes! For 2 completely beginners with fly fishing, Mike took the time to teach us and continue teaching us the proper way to get the salmon in the net. We caught more than just Sockeye on this trip too, we caught Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden as well. We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this trip!

Mike was awesome. I had fished the Kenai before and always regretted not going out with a guide. This time I wasn’t going to make the same mistake and I went on a full day trip with my wife and 10 year old daughter. Before the trip, my wife kept commenting on how nice Mike was and his pre fishing communications were great. My daughter was a little nervous at first but after her first sockeye she was hooked. Mike was amazing with her and seeing her have a good time was worth the trip. Mike is easy going and a pleasure to spend the day on the water with. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. We throughly enjoyed fishing with mike and I couldn’t recommend him enough. If you have young kids I don’t know if you could find a better guide to go with. He is so mellow and easy going. Also we practiced all catch and release and mike did a great job with handling the fish as little as possible. Overall it was an amazing day on the water. My daughter is still giving me a hard time about catching more dolly varden than me.
