Alaska Fly Fishing Species |
Greatest King Salmon |
|
|
King salmon (5/15 - 7/31) are the world's largest, averaging 35 - 60 pounds. Trolling and drifting from power and drift boats in shallow water mean violent strikes with great fights. Beginners and experts enjoy success as our expert guides maneuver the boat to the fish- but once it's hooked…it's all you! 4 kings passing the 80 pound mark have fallen to our clients over the years, with countless 50, 60 and 70 pound specimens kept or released as well. |

Countless Sockeye & Pink Salmon |
 |
Sockeye Salmon (6/5 - 7/31) may be Alaska's most amazing sportfish. The first run migrates up the Kenai to the Russian, however it's the second run, in July, which our guests get excited about. Thousands upon thousands gang up in front of the lodge and make for great fun in the evenings after the King trips are over (in fact, some guests choose to target the Sockeye rather than the Kings!) A great bonus species in July, their eggs and decomposing bodies provide nutrients for the fat rainbows we love in August and September. |

Fly Fishing Acrobatic Silver Salmon |
|
Silvers salmon,/ (8/1 - 9/31) are an acrobatic species that readily take spinners, spoons and flies with equal abandon. Nearly as popular as the famous Kings, they are very popular with our returning guests. Perfect for catch and release, they are also excellent table fare and combine with our trophy trout in the later season. Casting spinners with spin and baitcasters is the most effective method of targeting these great gamefish. |

Giant Pacific Halibut in Alaska |
 |
Halibut reside in the deep, cold waters off the western and Eastern sides of the the peninsula. Early in the season we target them in Cook Inlet, often combining trolling for King salmon with bottom fishing for the giant Halibut. Later, we move to Kenai Fjords National Park and target the halibut and Silver salmon in Prince William Sounds beautiful waters. The Halibut is a delicious fish, best known for it's culinary, rather than it's fighting qualities. That being said, the large "barn door" specimens of 100+ pounds do put up quite a battle, and most guests long remember their trip on the "Captain Hook." |

Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden/ Steelhead |
 |
The Area and it's surrounding rivers consistently produces some of Alaska's most impressive Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden catches. Our best fishing is August and September, with good catches available from the middle of June on. As they are a resident species we practice catch and release on all Trout species. Vying for the Kings for most popular sportfish in Alaska, the Rainbow combines with our excellent Silver salmon for great late season angling right up until the end of September. |
