The salmon were running heavy closer to Kenai and Soldotna but we caught some. It's all about timing. He offered to let us fish for rainbow trout, but we were only interested in the salmon. Fun experience.”

4.Full-Day Upper Kenai River Guided Fishing Trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $565

Spend about eight hours drifting the Upper Kenai River with a professional local guide. Use fly, spin, or bait-casting gear, learn as you go, and fish for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, sockeye, or silver salmon in protected Alaska wildlands.

“We had a fantastic time fishing the Upper Kenai River. Our guide worked very hard to keep us in the fish and to put us where we wanted to be to catch fish. He gave us good instructions on how to cast and use the open face reels, that hate me. I actually broke my empty handed streak and caught some very nice fish as did my husband who is an accomplished fisherman. We saw some beautiful scenery that one would never see any other way. It was well worth it. If you can make the time, take this fishing trip.”
