KENAI RIVER FISH SPECIES
Rainbow Trout
JUNE 11 to NOVEMBER 30
The Kenai River is a well-known fishing hot spot for Rainbow trout. It supports one of the healthiest and most robust populations in Alaska, making it an excellent place to catch these fish! Kenai River rainbows can be well over 30 inches and up to 20lbs!
Dolly Varden Char
JUNE 11 to NOVEMBER 30
Dolly Varden is a small, delicate fish with the ability to jump out of the water and onto your fly. They are fun to catch because they can be difficult for beginners but easy once you get used to them! Dollies range of all sizes and can reach up to about 12 lbs.
Steelhead
AUGUST 20 to NOVEMBER 1
Alaska is the last frontier for fishing enthusiasts, and if you’re looking to take your skills up a notch or just want an adventure this fall then steelhead fishing on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula should be at top of the list. Steelheads are very uniform in shape and average around 28 inches. These amazing, acrobatic fish are often a fly fisherman’s favorite to target.
King Salmon
MAY 20 to JULY 31
The most famous salmon in all of America is, without question or dispute…the Kings Of The Kenai! That’s right folks; it takes a lot to get your name on this list and earn yourself an 80-pounder.
Sockeye Salmon
JUNE 11 to AUGUST 15
Sockeye salmon (also called red salmon) are the most popular salmon to catch on the Kenai Peninsula. The most famous and best-eating salmon in the world starts coming to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula around June. These sockeye are noted for their sweet flavor, which can’t be beat anywhere!
Coho (Silver) Salmon
AUGUST 1 to OCTOBER 30
Coho “Silver” Salmon is a great fish for fly fishermen to target. Ranging in weight from 5-20 pounds, these salmon can be found jumping up and down near the bank of Kenai River’s waters where they were first born years ago!
Pink Salmon
AUGUST 1 to SEPTEMBER 1
Here at Kenai Fly Fish we think that Pink Salmon are the best fish for younger ages and family fun fishing trips. Pinks are completely underrated, they are extremely aggressive to catch and come in by the millions!
Halibut
YEAR ROUND
Halibut fishing is a thrill all year round. You can easily find Halibuts in June, July, and August when the weather becomes more stable with temperatures not changing too much from day to night or hour-to-hour

Isaiah Battel2021-12-10Ian is a long time local. His passion for fly fishing and his knowledge of his home water the Kenai river are unparalleled. 10/10 would recommend. Book a trip, you won’t be disappointed!
Rosa Hensley2021-11-04Ian is the best out there! So knowledgeable and patient. He green lit my family bringing a 2.5 year old on the boat - of course an epic meltdown ensued - Ian was fantastic and just took us to shore briefly to manage things and then got us right back out to fish! Second year in a row going with him for Silvers and many more to come!
Dustin Murphy2021-10-21Ian was super knowledgeable and kept us on the fish. Also was friendly and knows how to bbq a killer dog for lunch! Had a great time.
Aaron Corbin2021-10-15Ian was great & put us on tons of fish! The communication before the trip was good and working out where and when to meet was clear and easy. I’ve fly fished a lot but fishing long leaders from a boat was new to me. Ian explained it well and had us catching fish quickly. Having grown up in Alaska my reaction to the scenery is probably muted compared to most people but spending the day on Kenai was a great experience. Ian proved to be a knowledgeable guide & he put in the effort to provide us a great experience. I’d definitely go fishing with Ian and bones again.
David Voracek2021-10-07I called Ian McDonald to set up fly fishing for my entire company. He took care of everything. He found all of the guides we needed for twelve people, and called every day to check and make sure we were happy and things were going as we planned. I am impressed with his ability and kind nature, which helped make our nine day vacation run smoothly. We caught many fish and have a lot of pictures to prove it. I'd recommend Kenai Fly Fish to anyone. - Dr. David P. Voracek
David Young2021-09-24Great day! Ian knows the river better than anyone. He will put you on fish and coach you all at the same time. We caught quality trout (25”+) and Ian was terrific. I called him as a last minute request and he fit us in! I’ve fished with Ian many times, even prior to going out on his own. His knowledge and skill are not easily matched. Thanks for a great trip - we will be back!
pikefisher102021-09-20I have fished with quite a few guides over the years, specifically targeting large Kenai river rainbows. Ian is by far the best there is when it comes to catching these big trout! I highly recommend him.
Scott Steeves2021-09-20Ian was great. Very knowledgeable. We had a great time and caught lots of fish.
Andrey Severtokov2021-09-19Me and my brother had our best ever fishing trip with Ian. We had super fun catching silvers and trout fishing was amazing. Ian, we appreciate your hard work to try different techniques and teach us. How you care for the river and fish is top notch. It was really fun to spend time with you and we are looking forward to see you soon again. And we love your dog!!!
1407driver2021-09-19Had a great trip with Ian. I took my 6 and 8 year old boys on their first fly fishing trip. It was an epic day and both boys caught nice fish, including a 23 and 28” bow! Ian was super with the kids and an all around great guy. Highly recommended!
