Trip Summary
Other Specialty Options
Silver Salmon Trips
Silver salmon (Coho) are the September specialty — aggressive fighters that hit hard and leap repeatedly. If you're visiting in late summer, this is the must-do trip. Available on both rivers.
Jet Boat Fishing
Go where drift boats can't. Our jet boat accesses the remote upper sections of the Kenai — braided channels, log jams, and holding water that sees almost no fishing pressure. This is the hidden Alaska.
