Overview

Fish in one of the most beautiful settings on earth with us! Rare permits give us the ability to share this entire stretch of river with you.
Experience the upper Kenai river on an 8 hour full-day guided fishing trip in 20 foot custom drift boats sometimes stopping in the best places to do some Kenai River wade fishing from shore.
Fly fishing and spin fishing in small groups provides a personalized experience with your seasoned local guide/instructor Mike Adams.  Enjoy the Chugach National Forest and/or the upper Kenai National Wildlife Refuge with the chance of seeing the local wildlife that abounds here.
Fishing on the upper Kenai River is an unparalleled experience. Fishing for native Kenai River rainbow trout and dolly varden char is an excellent choice. Cooper Landing salmon fishing is also fantastic during our two Kenai River sockeye salmon runs and our two silver salmon runs.
