The fantasy of angling the Last Frontier calls for bikers the world over year after year. Alaska is, hands down, one of the top fishing destinations in the world drawing anglers from all over the world every summer. The explanations for this are easy, Alaska includes a huge amount of species options and an amazing diversity of habitats. From trout and salmon in freshwater streams, rivers, and lakes to halibut, salmon, rockfish, and lingcod from the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea, Alaska has everything.
However, with over 6,000 miles of shoreline and more than 12,000 rivers, crossing the right spot can be daunting and overwhelming.
If you’re looking for a secondhand fishing encounter targeting multiple fish species, then the Kenai Peninsula is exactly what you are looking for. The Kenai Peninsula also features the mythical Kenai River. The Kenai River boasts the world-record king salmon ever caught at 97 lbs. Countless different lakes, rivers, and streams make the Kenai Peninsula an unbelievable selection for anyone wanting to experience all that Alaska has to offer. Furthermore, there is plenty to do for all those non-fishers who may be accompanying you on your trip.
At over 24,000 square kilometers, the Kenai Peninsula is a large area to aim for your fishing adventures. You might want to consider a centralized location for a base camp such as the city of Kenai or Soldotna. Daily could see you getting up early and driving a couple of hours in any way to reach your fishing destination, but you’ll have the ability to establish a comfortable home base from which to operate and will not spend as long packing and repacking your gear as you proceed from lodging destination to accommodation destination across the area. Check out some great adventures in 2019 here.
Another great strategy is to hop from city to city spending multiple days in each place. It can be more relaxing to approach your trip this way as you won’t spend as much time driving each day. Just count on a more and more expensive excursion to be able to see and do everything.
Most out-of-state visitors fly into Anchorage and lease a vehicle for the push into the peninsula. Additionally, there are tiny airlines that fly from Anchorage to the Kenai airport from the city of Kenai. This short flight saves people the drive, which will easily run three hours or more. Ultimately, other guests arrive at sea since many cruise lines dock in Homer or Seward throughout this season.
At Alaskan Fishing Adventures, we have carefully assembled a full and flexible package of fishing and lodging options to ensure that your Alaska fishing trip will be as effective as possible. We are centrally located in the Soldotna area and can send guests on charters out of both Homer and Seward in addition to local day trips on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. In addition, we work with a few of the very best float-plane charters in Alaska, opening up secluded and remote fishing destinations for our visitors. Check here to learn more.
Alaskan Fishing Adventures provides an exceptional range of fishing options for our guests and we recommend our customers resist the urge to over-plan their stay with us. After all, Alaska’s fishing conditions along with weather conditions are changing constantly through the season so why firmly schedule that sea trip for halibut on a day that may wind up with elevated and choppy seas? Not too many Sockeye running on the Kenai as we had expected when we initially scheduled your day? That is fine, let’s get you on a fly-out trip for Silvers instead.
The exclusion to our taste not too closely scheduled trips is our Overnight Trips. You are going to want to register early for all these trips since they fill up fast. These magnificent trips leave from Seward and just go out on certain days throughout the season. They stand out because they restrict our guests the chance to fish for two limitations on one excursion by spending the whole night on the water. Because these trips are longer in duration than a day excursion, it enables us to venture farther out and get waters that aren’t hit by the afternoon excursion fleet. You’ve got the chance to catch all the very same species which you would on a day trip but our Overnight Trips are undoubtedly your best chance to catch hard-fighting lingcod. These are intense trips. You’ll be tired afterward, but they’re your very best bet for catching a great deal of fish.
If the overnight option isn’t for you, make sure you schedule a day trip. Our ocean day excursions start in May and run into September. The time of year you are in Alaska and the ocean conditions will decide which specific species you may aim for, but most of our sea day excursions allow you to capture multiple kinds of fish. The additional bonus is that you will be surrounded by a number of the most magnificent scenery on Earth. Get more info right here.
Our river trips will take you onto a gorgeous float down the Kasilof or even a motored trip on the Kenai. Depending upon the time of year that you stay with us you will have the opportunity to capture Kings, Reds, Silvers, and Rainbow Trout. The Kenai River is the mythical home to a number of the largest King Salmon on the planet and also the Kasilof also generates impressive fish in and year out.
Where you remain also creates a big difference in the success of your journey. Our lodging options allow you to remain in Seward, Sterling, or Soldotna and many of our guests remain at greater than one paychecks throughout the course of the trip. Our most popular lodging option is the unbelievable Angler’s Lodge. This quintessential Alaskan fishing camp is situated right on the Kenai River, allowing our visitors to fish the river after their yummy, home-cooked dinners. Our rooms are comfortably appointed to make certain that you obtain all of the rest that you require after long days of catching fish after fish.
