Great Alaska Adventures

If there were just one river in the world that fish could choose, it would be the Kenai River. It is here that the king salmon begin the salmon season and where the Silver Salmon ends it. Between the kings and the silvers are the Pinks, Reds and Chum Salmon. Regardless of the season, there are fish to be caught in the Kenai. This is rainbow country. The Rainbow Trout cycle around the Salmon and it is quite possible to catch Trophy Rainbows and a Trophy King all in the same day. While size is a focus when it comes to fish, the best fighter in the group is the silver salmon. These tenacious fish will try to rip the pole out of your hand.

There is also plenty of opportunity to try your hand at Pacific Halibut fishing. Hold on tight, fishing just became a sport. Alaskan halibut are amazing to fish. Barn doors, as the big ones are called weigh upwards of 1000 pounds. The record for sports fishing halibut is just under 500 pounds. The Chickens, as the little ones are called weigh in at under 100 pounds. Don't matter though, they are all good eating.

What could be better than staying where the salmon call home? The Great Alaska Adventure Lodge offers some of the best-guided fishing tours available. The guides are experienced with the area and the fish..and they offer fly or cast fishing in fresh or saltwater.

There is a lot to do in Alaska. The Moose river is calm and makes an excellent place to fish or to watch wildlife. The Bears, eagles and moose are plentiful. There are outstanding vistas for photography or just exploring the world around you by kayak. Their lodge is equally happy to help make your trip successful whether that includes a full fishing expedition or a mixture of fishing and scenery.
