For many Kenai River fishing guides, myself included, trout are our favorite species to target.  Other trout bums around the world definitely “get it,” but your standard meat-fisherman in Alaska often has a difficult time understanding why anyone would spend time chasing Rainbow Trout on the Kenai River when there are chrome bright salmon, halibut, and several other species in the vicinity.  Below are 3 good reasons why everyone should try out Kenai River Rainbow Trout fishing while they’re here in Alaska:

 

1.  Lots Of Action

On the Kenai River we are spoiled and even our “slow” days would make a Rocky Mountain trout angler drool at the numbers we put up.  When the trout are really on the bite, it’s not uncommon for each angler to land dozens of trout in a single trip, and lots of action = FUN!

 

2.  You Can Fish For Salmon Too

Our salmon/trout combo trips are extremely popular because you can have your cake & eat it too, and it’s the perfect way to get an introduction to Kenai River trout fishing without sacrificing a day of salmon slammin’.  Warning: you’ll likely be hooked on trout forever afterwards!

 

3.  Beautiful Places

For some unknown reason trout seem to occupy many of the most beautiful places on Earth. The Kenai River is no exception, and so while in pursuit of trout you’ll often find yourself in the most gorgeous stretches of the river with mountains, wildlife, and emerald-green water all around you.
