Fall Trophy Trout Fishing
For all ages! • 6 to 8 Hours • Kenai Trout and Salmon Angling!
About
Kenai River trout fishing is world-renowned for its opportunity to catch trophy-sized wild rainbow trout and Dolly Varden, with fish often exceeding 30 inches. The fishery is primarily catch-and-release and is sustained by the massive runs of salmon that provide a rich, protein-filled food source for the resident trout.
Fall fishing provides action packed experience with lots of fishing opportunity to catch trout, dolly varden, silver salmon, pink salmon, and steelehead.
