Fishing in Alaska and The best times to catch
Kenai River Fishing Spots
Lower Kenai River
The Lower Kenai River is perfect for drift boat fishermen. With its abundant food sources, it attracts rainbow trout and Dolly Varden—fish that can grow to record size. So if you’re looking for big fish, this is the spot to go.
Middle Kenai River
The Middle Kenai River is a must-fish section of the river. It’s stocked with tons of rainbow trout and steelhead, as well as plenty of salmon. The Middle Kenai River can provide a new, different fishing section for anglers of all ages to explore!
Lower/Upper Kasilof River
The Kasilof River isn’t for the faint of heart. In fact, it’s one of the most challenging rivers in Alaska. It’s classified as Class II whitewater, and the swift currents can be extremely dangerous. However, if you’re up for an adventure, it’s a great place to go.
