Silver Salmon Fishing Trips

The guides that make up the RiverRise Fishing Guides team are some of the best Fishing Guides in the Kenai Peninsula. We live, breathe and sleep Salmon Fishing and we look forward to the Aggressive Silver Salmon that call the Kenai & Kasilof Rivers their home.

Our Silver Salmon Season kicks off with our early run on August 1st and will last all the way until our last day of the season, September 14th. We fish from both Drift Boats and Power Boats and tailor our Fully Guided Silver Salmon Fishing Trips to the run timing and size. One day we could be fishing on the Kasilof River, and the next you’ll find us chasing them on the Kenai River. Our trips remain flexible so that we are able to provide our clients with the highest chance of success.

Our team of guides are very proficient in both Fly Fishing and Conventional Fishing techniques. We offer Fly Fishing trips with a technique known as “Spey Fishing” using a two handed rod. When fishing with conventional gear for Silvers, we use a variety of techniques based on the river levels and run timing, but a vast majority of that type of fishing will be done completely from the boat.

More Info

• We will clean and filet your fish, preparing them for their travel home with you.
• We always bring water and ice, so pack yourself a nice lunch and we will be good to go!
• As a general rule, we will fish either the Kasilof River or the Kenai River, and the decision to fish either will be solely based on the fishing conditions (I.e. fishing pressure, run timing & size, river conditions, tides, etc.) Your guide will make the determination the day or two before your trip and confirm meeting locations with you. All meeting locations are relatively close and ample time will be given so that you’re able to make it on time, comfortably.
• All trips are subject to current Alaska Department of Fish & Game regulations, including Emergency Orders. Your trip might be affected by season closures, but we always have other options and other fish to pursue!
