Alaska Wildland Adventures Image

Where will you find Alaska's best salmon fishing? The Kenai Peninsula is hard to beat. Alaska Wildland Adventures (AWA) has specialized in fishing the Upper Kenai River between Kenai and Skilak Lakes since 1977. Their professional guides are experts in fly-fishing, drift fishing, and back trolling, so you can fish from the boat, the bank, or both with confidence. Expect an exciting day of fishing for red salmon, as well as rainbows and Dolly Varden.

If you're looking for a good fight, Kenai River king salmon are the largest in the world (50-pound catches are common). Test your skills against these giant kings in the Lower Kenai or Kasilof Rivers from late May through July. Whether you're an accomplished angler or a complete beginner, your guide will put you on the fish. Up to four people fish comfortably from AWA's state-of-the-art Willie Predator power boats on the Kenai or in their Mackenzie-style drift boats on the Kasilof.

Enjoy an action-packed day of silver-salmon fishing on the Lower Kenai or in scenic Resurrection Bay in August or Sept. Fishing for silvers offers frequent hookups and fast action on light tackle - just the excitement of hooking one of these feisty, acrobatic fish is worth the trip up to Alaska. The gorgeous setting - snow-capped peaks, the turquoise waters of the Kenai, bald eagles, moose and bear - doesn't hurt, either.
