Kenai Excursions

Relax for the day and go fishing for sockeye and Coho salmon (depending upon time of year), Dolly Varden and rainbow trout (all season, catch, photograph and release) in the upper Kenai River—one of the most productive trophy fishing waters in Alaska. This tour is perfect for all levels—there are river sections for both the beginner and the experienced. The turquoise waters of the Upper Kenai River run 17 miles through the Chugach National Forest and Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Its entire length is the spawning ground for millions of pacific salmon.
