Fishing on the River Kenai<br />
Alaska ranks as a premier spot for fishers. The state’s oceans, rivers and lakes are<br />
teeming with salmon, rainbow trout, arctic char and many other challenging sport<br />
fish – it really is an angler’s dream!<br />
While there are many options for exceptional angling, the Kenai River stands out as<br />
offering some of the best fishing in the entire state, particularly for salmon and trout.<br />
The best time to visit the Kenai is in the summer, as many salmon species (including king<br />
salmon) run from May-September – although you’ll find silver salmon as late as November,<br />
and dolly varden and lake trout all year round. Make sure you brush up on local fishing<br />
laws before you plan your trip, as you may need specialist licence stamps to fish certain<br />
species.<br />
For a truly luxurious and relaxed fishing getaway, consider a lodging holiday. Salmon<br />
Catcher Lodge is one of the Kenai Peninsula’s best fishing lodges, offering families and<br />
sportspeople <strong>com</strong>fortable ac<strong>com</strong>modations in the finest handcrafted spruce log cabins –<br />
and access to unrivalled fishing. Your trip can be planned around the best species to fish<br />
at the time of your visit, and they have expert guides on hand to help you make the most<br />
out of the experience.<br />
Fishing packages are available throughout the year; as part of your stay you can enjoy<br />
such luxurious touches as saunas, hot tubs, fully equipped kitchens, fire pits and fish<br />
processing and freezer facilities. Salmon Catcher Lodge also offers options to ‘build your<br />
own’ adventure, allowing you to tour the Kenai and its surroundings at your own leisure.<br />
