Primarily trout and dollies on the Upper Kenai. The Kenai River Canyon is particularly good for larger rainbows this time of year.

This can also be one of the best locations on the Kenai River to fish for Sockeye Salmon that normally arrive by the thousands in July. |

The King Salmon spawn is in full swing and Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden fishing is getting better by the day on both the Upper and Middle Kenai River. Sockey salmon fishing on the Upper Kenai River is often times still possible depending upon the timing and strength of the run. |

August 15 to October 15

This is the time of year that every Alaskan waits for as the fishing gets unbelievable. Sockeye are spawning in full force and the egg bite is on fire! This is the time of year to come fishing if you want to catch large numbers of Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden. Both the Upper Kenai River Canyon and the Middle Kenai River offer anglers the opportunity to catch a Trophy Rainbow Trout of a lifetime. Depending upon the strength of the run, Silver Salmon fishing is also possible on both the Upper and Middle Kenai River. |
