One of the best places in Alaska to catch a trophy salmon is the Kenai Peninsula. It is world renowned for the size and variety of fish in the waters. The Kenai river lodge has everything needed for a memorable wilderness experience and an angling trip to beat all others.
Anchorage is the capital of Alaska and is the place where most flights land. From there it takes just three hours by car to the region of Kenai. The lodge is located close to the Sterling Highway and so is easy to find. Although the peninsula is close to the largest city in Alaska it feels very remote. There are no large cities and lots of wilderness.
King salmon is the most sought after fish in the river. They can grow to huge sizes so the area is fantastic for trophy fishing, do not forget your camera. The King salmon has two runs from may to June so check with local guides exactly when the best time to arrive will be for the fish you wish to catch or the angling technique you prefer. For example, if you like fly fishing the shallow waters of the early season will be best.
There are five species of salmon in the river so plenty of opportunities for great fishing present themselves all through the summer. June is the best time to catch red salmon. These are the species with the highest monetary value as they are preferred for cooking and smoking. Silver salmon also run twice, in August and October. Permits are needed for fishing and are available in many shops in the vicinity or on the internet.
The Kenai Lodge has four hundred feet of waterfront so there is plenty of room for bank fishing. They also provide walkways and stairs for wading, fish cleaning tables, grills, a hanging station and freezer space for the catch. The accommodation is comfortable with river views and there are rooms of all sizes, including a suite.
It is close to the town of Soldotna where there are plenty of shops, restaurants and supermarkets. There are also a couple of visitors centres with information about the region. Hiking trails lead off from the town so if you want to go walking, mountain biking or cross country running it is easy to do. Many tours leave from Soldotna taking tourists on bear watching, expeditions, whale watching and cruises through the fjords.
Soldotna is the nearest town to the lodge and has all the amenities a traveler may need. There are shops and restaurants, museum of local history and information centres for the local parks and wildlife. Several hiking trails leave the town and are accessible by bike. In the summer months there are a range of special events and festivals to enjoy including a beer festival.
Alaska is a paradise for anglers. The mighty fish of the Kenai river are notorious so why not take advantage of this and stay right on the side of the water. At the River Lodge you can get up, slide into your waders and be in the water in minutes. When you are not fishing the area provides facilities for lots of other activities.
