Welcome to Soldotna

On Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, where the Kenai River winds to the eastern shore of Cook Inlet, Soldotna is a tiny town of 4,000 that draws thousands of visitors each summer to some of the state’s best fishing water. The river is home to yearly runs of the world’s largest king salmon, and the big kings, along with sockeye and silver salmon, trophy-sized rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden char, make Soldotna the state’s most popular sportfishing destination. Shopping, dining, and many riverfront parks make the city fun, while surrounding mountain and river wild spaces including the majestic Kenai National Wildlife Refuge invite visitors to go bear and wildlife watching, hiking, kayaking, rafting and more.

I had an outstanding 3 days of fishing with Mike the end of September. I fished with a friend who is a much better flyfisher and Mike was able to work with both of us despite our different skill levels. He is a top notch guide, knows the river well, has great gear and will put you on a lot of fish. We did the lower canyon add on 2 of the 3 days. If you want a stand out experience he is your guide. Come prepared for serious fishing.

Third trip to Alaska at the beginning of October 2023 and I did my 6-7 and 8th day of fishing with Mike Adams, a very professional, safe and constant guide and friend, I will definitely return to see him for a fourth trip.

I have been going each year with my dad and uncle for 6 years on the Kenai River float with JJ Brown for trout in September. This guide knows the Kenai River better than anyone. He will get you up before the sun rises to get to the best water--and it's always good. JJ is hardworking, good company, and good luck. Not to mention the fishing is any angler's dream.

Ask for Brandon. Top guide and a top outfit! Had a great day fishing. If you do not catch fish, the problem is with you not listening to your guide. Best money we have ever spent on a vacation.

3 friends from Oregon/Calif thoroughly enjoyed our fishing experiences with Scott!! Scott is highly skilled, amiable and informative throughout the entire trip. All three of us limited out on salmon and halibut over the 3 day trip and we're now back at home with our families enjoying full freezers of wonderful fish filets We couldn't have been more pleased with our Alaskan adventures! Thank you Kenai Drift Anglers!!

Took my father and nephew on the drift boat trip with Matt. It was the first time to ALASKA for my nephew and first time ever with a fly rod for them and we still caught a ton a fish! Matt put us on fish all day long and had the best view and we saw a bunch of wilflife.

My family and I had a great time with Greg fishing in the Kenai River. He went out of his way to reschedule and change the location based on fishing reports that day, so that we would have a successful day. Turned out great with over 40 pounds of fillet Salmon to ship home.

The company contacted me before my 1/2 day fly fishing experience to set up location and timing. We met with Brett who was our guide for the day. He was awesome. He taught us how to fly fish within minutes and got us going. He was there to help us and make adjustments throughout the day. Without him we would have not caught as much fish as we did. Between the 3 of us we caught 15 salmon. Wow. He conducted himself as a professional and knew were to take us. Huge shout out to Brett. Memories for life with my two sons. Thank you!

10 stars! Best guide on the river. Scotty took up the Kenai to fish for sockeye. We had the best day. Hit our double limit 24 salmon Scotty taught us all the flossing technique, got us a great spot on the river which is hard to come by in July. He was just awesome and we will be back

The views were absolutely stunning. The guide Brandon was informative, very helpful and patient. I have never fly fished before and he was able to teach me quickly enough that I was catching fish in no time. I had a blast and booked another trip for next year already. Thank you Kenai River trout Anglers for a wonderful trip. Sincerely, Randall
