Great Alaska Adventure Lodge

 

Trip Details

Fishing the Kenai River in Alaska

Located on the Kenai River, this 3-Star lodge is located in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula on 25 acres of prime mid-river property overlooking the confluence of the Kenai and Moose rivers with a backdrop of the mountains and glaciers of the Harding Icefield. This central location allows us to easily access the entire Kenai Peninsula. King salmon (5/15 - 7/31) are the world's largest, averaging 35 - 60 pounds. Trolling and drifting from power and drift boats in shallow water mean violent strikes with great fights. Silvers salmon (8/1 - 9/31) are an acrobatic species that readily take spinners, spoons and flies with equal abandon. Nearly as popular as the famous Kings, they are very popular with our returning guests. Perfect for catch and release, they are also excellent table fare and combine with our trophy trout in the later season.

Season

May to September. King salmon (5/15 - 7/31) are the world's largest, averaging 35 - 60 pounds. Silvers salmon (8/1 - 9/31) are an acrobatic species that readily take spinners, spoons and flies with equal abandon. Nearly as popular as the famous Kings, they are very popular with our returning guests. Perfect for catch and release, they are also excellent table fare and combine with our trophy trout in the later season. Sockeye Salmon (6/5 - 7/31) may be Alaska's most amazing sport fish. The first run migrates up the Kenai to the Russian, however it's the second run, in July, which our guests get excited about. Thousands upon thousands gang up in front of the lodge and make for great fun in the evenings after the King trips are over (in fact, some guests choose to target the Sockeye rather than the Kings!) A great bonus species in July, their eggs and decomposing bodies provide nutrients for the fat rainbows we love in August and September. The Area and it's surrounding rivers consistently produces some of Alaska's most impressive Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden catches. Our best fishing is August and September, with good catches available from the middle of June on. As they are a resident species we practice catch and release on all Trout species.
