I've had the privilege of fly-fishing with Kenai River Trout Anglers enough where I'm happily starting to lose count of how many times we've gone. And each time builds off the last creating more wonderful memories.
My buddy joined me for his first fly-fishing experience with Kenai River Trout Anglers and I quickly lost track of how many amazing fish we caught. JJ, who's always extremely kind and super fun to fish with, got us into so many from rainbow trout and arctic char to sockeyes and coho.
His expertise shines as his knowledge of the river comes to life with pinpoint accuracy of when to cast in certain spots, impressive explanations of fish behavior in this ecosystem and expert techniques that'll have you reeling in fish of a lifetime throughout the full-day drift.
And yes, the word trout in his company's name certainly foreshadows the rainbows of your dreams. In fact, JJ guided me into catching the largest rainbow trout I've ever had, at approximately 34 inches. It was the kind of fishing experience where it nearly runs out your backing and endlessly dances down the river with you smiling in amazement as you finish reeling it in, saluting the trout as it disappears into the turquoise water ... thanking God for moments like this!
I can't wait for our next trip to Alaska, as only my daydreams will suffice until we can fish again with Kenai River Trout Anglers.

This was definitely a trip I will never forget. I have seen a lot of trout in my time on the Kenai but the one you caught in the canyon was definitely one of the biggest. It was such a thrill to see a fish of this size and to see you fighting it as we floated down the river. Being able to put people on fish like this make me feel lucky to have this job and I appreciate every moment of it. Thanks for the awesome review and I hope to see you guys again in the future!
