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.

Fished 4 full days with Mike the week after Labor Day. Went with a friend, Tim, who has fished with Mike previous years and highly recommended him. Weather was perfect. Cold foggy mornings and warm sunny days. The fog made the scenery eerie but picturesque. We were targeting big rainbows.....and that's what we caught ..... big fat rainbows. Also caught various salmon species, lots of Dollies and Arctic Char. The action was non stop. Mike steered us where the fish were. He worked hard keeping us in the productive runs. I learned a lot from Mike. Without his guidance i don't believe I would have landed some of the big brutes. Those rainbows danced on the water, charged the boat full speed, and fought non stop. (Mike kept insisting on quickly getting the fish on the reel...absolutely a must). After multiple days fishing with Mike, my wrist and shoulder ached from all the reeling. (ibuprofen helped). Saw lots of bears, eagles everywhere snagging fish with their talons and all kinds of wildlife. Need to just stop and look around. Recommend stopping in Sterling for breakfast at the first gas station you hit coming from Coopers' Landing. Fresh made breakfast burritos with fresh made salsa. Coffee there is not bad either. All the locals seem to stop there for breakfast. Definitely returning next year. This time with my daughter. Mike...Thanks for the great experience. Andy

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences Andy. It was so cool to have several days to really share the river with you. I can't wait for your daughter to experience it with you.
