Upper Kenai River Full Day
Our Upper Kenai River full day fishing trip begins either at the Kenai Lake bridge at the mouth of Kenai Lake or at Sportsman’s Lodge/Russian River Ferry and covers between 5 to 12 miles of the Kenai River ending at Jim’s Landing. This trip takes you through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, an area known for its trophy sized Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden, and of course its abundance of Red and Silver Salmon. This trip will provide you with an opportunity to not only drift fish, but also to work the banks, gravel bars and islands throughout this stretch.
