Salmon and Trophy Trout Adventure Package

Fall Trophy Trout & Salmon Fishing Package

Silver Salmon & Trophy Rainbows, Epic Catches, &

The Fall Salmon & Trophy Trout Adventure Package has been put together to absolutely focus on our fall silver salmon fishery, Kenai River Rainbow trout, and the often overlooked Kasilof River steelhead. This is one of our favorite times of the year with pockets of golden cottonwoods and bright yellow birches are starting to show on the hillsides and riverbanks. The fireweed has lost its magenta flowers, but the leaves have turned all sorts of reds.The crowds of July and early August have dwindled we focus or attention on silver salmon, football sized rainbow-trout, steelhead on the Kasilof and barn-door halibut for those that are so inclined.There may not be another river in the world that produces a large, girthy, native trout population like the Kenai River.

These excursions have been hand-selected based on the best opportunities at particular times of the summer for each river and species of fish. If you want a really good combination of fishing, sightseeing, and wildlife, make sure to check out our Essentials Alaska Adventure Package. If you’re 100% interested in wildlife, nature, and sightseeing and have little interest in fishing at all, consider our Wildlife & Scenery Alaska Adventure Package. If you are interested in a 100% fishing focused trip during the peak of our summer runs check out our Ultimate Fishing Alaska Adventure Package.

Fall Silver Salmon & Trophy Trout

Aug 10 - October 1

By August 10th enough of the first arriving silver salmon of the year have reached the middle section of the Kenai River. This can allow us to target rainbow tout and silver salmon. The silver salmon will continue to get stronger and stronger through August and September. The peak of the first run of silver salmon is around 8/21 and the peak of the 2nd run of silver salmon is around 9/21. Rainbow trout fishing gets amazing as these voracious predators have been gouging on salmon flesh and eggs for months. They’ve gotten huge and they’ve gotten strong! These fish have gotten really big and we fish for them on the upper Kenai River, middle Kenai River, and some on the lower Kenai River.

Fall colors are starting to show around Alaska and it’s a fantastic time to fish for silver salmon, halibut, and rainbow trout. Additionally, starting approximately August 1st we’ll move the majority of our bear viewing and fishing trips to Crescent Lake. Crescent Lake not only brings an awesome experience to fish very close to the bears but also the lake trout, rainbow, and dolly varden fishing is also excellent.

Popular substitution items and customization options would include combo and multispecies halibut trips,hiking and fishing at the Russian River is a great option for the unscheduled day and can be done without a guide, and a wide variety of hiking and sight seeing options on the unscheduled day are available as well.
