Middle Kenai River Full-Day Fishing Trip

Overview
The middle Kenai River flows out of the glacial waters of Skilak Lake in the heart of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, home to a large variety of Alaskan wildlife.
We use an outboard motor to cross Skilak Lake and to run back upstream to fish the most productive spots.
​This stretch of river can produce excellent trophy Kenai River trout and Dolly Varden char and seasonal runs of salmon. Daily guided drift boat fly fishing and spin fishing trips are available for all ages and skill levels.

Mike Adams is our “go to guide” for salmon, steelhead, and rainbows. We fish the Kenai almost weekly. When we want a real expert to help us catch great fish and learn new techniques, we reach out to Mike. Patient and tactful, we learn more about the rivers and fish each trip. No one handles fish with more care. Always safe. Total professional.

Our group was in Anchorage for a conference and we all had Kenai River fishing on our bucket list. Connecting with Mike was a great move!!! He put us on fish, was very knowledgeable and engaging - and most of all we all appreciated the purity of his approach with the fishing. I've fished all over with guides and Mike was one of the best. We missed out on the Silvers but got plenty of Sockeye, Dolly and Rainbows. You can't go wrong with Mike, wish we could have had more days.

My Dad and I have fished with Mike for 5 or 6 years ago. Mike also guided my Mom and Dad on a separate trip. They were 74 yrs old then and Mom was concerned about floating the river. Mike was great and she still talks about how patient, positive and FUN he was on the trip. Mike works harder than any other guide we have seen to put clients on fish and to ensure that the float is fun and safe. Our two trips with Mike in 2018 were epic. Mike put Dad on over a dozen bows over 22 inches and ended the day (literally the last 10 min of the float) with a 28" bow for me. (He was more excited than I was) Funny thing is that when we arrived back at the Hutch (great place to stay in Cooper Landing by the way), we talked with another guy who had floated the same day on the Middle (we saw him several times during the day) with another guide. He had not caught a single bow and only a couple of dollies. His guide had said that the fish were not biting due to an "egg glut". That may have been true, but Mike had put us on over 30 fish and worked constantly changing egg patterns and finding pockets of active fish. Something to be said for local knowledge... Thanks, Mike, for the continued great service and friendship!!! I cannot give a better recommendation for fishing the Kenai than Mike Adams!
