Alaska Drift Away Fishing

Day trip fishing adventures are typically powerboat fishing on the Kenai River for Salmon, big Rainbows, and Dolly Varden Char. Depending on when you arrive you might have access to King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Pinks, and Chum Salmon. You will always have access to big, fat Rainbow Trout and large Dolly Varden. The Rainbow Trout on the Kenai reach 33-inches in length and are fairly wild fish. Expect plenty of fight from both the Dolly Varden and the Rainbow Trout.

Overall, expect your day trip fishing adventure to be full of fishing opportunities, especially if you target Sockeye Salmon which have runs here in the millions of fish.

Both the Kasilof and the Kenai Rivers are prolific salmon fisheries. The Kasilof is considerably overshadowed by the reputation of the Kenai River, but don't be fooled. It is a river that is just as grand and with just as many fishing opportunities. The Kasilof is a quieter experience as people are drawn to the Kenai because that is where the world-record King Salmon was caught.

Either river could produce the next world-record. The Alaska Drift Away Fishing offers its guests world-class salmon fishing on both rivers. Expect outstanding boats that are comfortable, clean, and practical for fishing all day. Expect quality guides with the experience to guide you safely down these rivers and still put you over the big fish.

Be sure to check with the service when you book if you are interested in targeting a specific species of Salmon as the salmon are not all in the rivers at the same time.
