The glacial waters of the Kenai River are home to the beautiful native Rainbow Trout; some of the prettiest colored trout you will ever see! In the fall months it's not uncommon to catch 100 trout in a day with a guided fishing trip to our favorite fishing holes. For the most part the rainbow trout fishing on the Kenai is a catch and release trophy trout fishery although back in 2005, the Alaska Dept of Fish and Game passed a new regulation allowing anglers to keep Rainbow Trout caught from the mouth of the Kenai River to Lower Skilak Lake which are 18 inches and under, and Rainbow Trout 16 inches and under from the mouth of the upper Skilak Lake to the mouth of Kenai Lake.

When you land your monster, our guides will take a digital picture and tape the length and width of the trout. This give us all of the information needed to calculate the weight of your trophy sized Kenai River rainbow trout. After you have the weight of the fish you can keep the photographs for memories, make a fiberglass reproduction or spend a little more and get a hand carved reproduction made from your photo.

Both rainbow trout and Dolly varden seasons open June 12^th on all of the Kenai Peninsula streams. At this time of the year this rainbow fishing is decent, but if you are looking for the best trout fishing you’ll ever see, you need book a trip in September through October!

There is nothing better than hooking a 10+ pound rainbow on 5 or 6 wt fly rod. You can fish for these hogs in a guided boat where you will catch a lot of trout and dolly’s. For the fly fisherman, if the water is low enough, we can pull over to a gravel bar and do some fly rod fishing. Fly rods are available to use, or if you would like to use your own rod you are more then welcomed to.
