Alaska offers countless fishing options—but if you’re looking for the perfect combination of expert guidance, flexible trips, and unforgettable scenery, there’s one name that stands out: Kenai Fly Fish.
Led by veteran guide Ian McDonald, Kenai Fly Fish brings over 19 years of on-river experience to every drift or jet boat trip. The 2025 season is expected to be a strong one, and booking with a guide who knows the river inside and out can be the difference between a good day and a once-in-a-lifetime haul.
🎣 Experience That Makes Every Trip Count
Ian’s deep knowledge of the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers comes from decades of guiding—and living—right here on the Kenai Peninsula. That local expertise matters:
-
He knows when each run hits (and when it’s just hype)
-
He reads tides, water levels, and weather patterns in real-time
-
He adapts trip plans on the fly to put you where the fish are
From first-timers to hardcore anglers, every client benefits from an authentic, Alaskan-born fishing experience tailored to their skill level and goals.

🌊 Locations That Deliver: Kenai vs. Kasilof
Kenai Fly Fish offers trips on both the Kenai River and the Kasilof River, giving clients the chance to fish in the environment that best suits them:
-
Kenai River: Big water, big fish, big runs. Perfect for sockeye, silvers, and late-season trout. Jet boat access to key mid-river spots.
-
Kasilof River: Drift-only, quiet and scenic. Great for sockeye and silvers. Ideal for those looking for a peaceful, motor-free experience.
