Alaska Fly Fishing
Drift Alaska Charters offers fly fishing for rainbow trout, Dollie Varden, and sockeye salmon, which are all native to the Kenai River. We fish the Upper, Middle and Lower Kenai River, depending on where the fish are. The Kenai River hosts two types of Rainbow trout- transient and resident rainbow trout; we target the transient Rainbow trout which is the largest. They spawn below Kenai Lake (Upper Kenai) or Skilak Lake (Middle Kenai) in early May and then work their way down towards the mouth of the Kenai River in search of spawning salmon to eat.
Our trout season starts the first day of August on the Lower Kenai River after both King salmon runs have ended. We follow the Rainbow Trout and Dollie Varden up the Kenai River and by mid-October the majority of the rainbows are back below the lakes where they started. They spend the winter here and spawn again in the spring. It is not uncommon to catch 8-10 lb (18-22â€) trout and some even exceed 20 lbs (over 30’).
