Chum Salmon are an aggressive, hard fighting fish that can put the most seasoned anglers to the test.    This fish was released in one of the Matanuska Valley streams and will be a part of the nine year old anglers memories forever.  This is Jarons first salmon on the fly rod and I’m sure that he is hooked for life.  Congratulations and Enjoy!

There are lots of Salmon fishing opportunities in Alaska and this is just one of the five species that you could have an shot at.  To learn more about hing in Alaska salmon fishing visit our website at Drifting On The Fly, LLC.

Catch and Release Taxidermy is becoming more popular than ever!  The molds are very true to size and the paints are matched perfectly to each fish.  To be able to put a fish as beautiful as this one back in the water and still have it preserved for a lifetime has changed our thoughts on taxidermy forever.  Long winters in Alaska has given us the opportunity to learn and produce a great product for our clients and in a very timely manner.  If you are interested in having a fish done feel free to give us a call for pricing and availability.

This particular rainbow trout was caught and released on the Kenai River.  The Kenai River produces fish over the 30″ mark every year and this one was 33.5″.

Since 2003 we have been working hard at exploring remote rivers in Alaska so that we can offer back country trips as a part of our operation.  In June of 2009 we traveled to the headwaters of King Salmon river to start a week long float with a great group of guys in search of Arctic Grayling, Arctic Char and Rainbow Trout!  We put this short video of the trip together to share with you.  I hope that you find watching the video as interesting as we did making it!

The first weekend of Dec. was beautiful on the Kenai river.  We didn’t catch a ton of Rainbow trout but enough to keep us motivated.  Skilak lake is now starting to freeze over and wade fishing opportunities are about all that is available now.  The weather was excellent today with temperatures over 30 degrees!  I wasn’t out on the river but I know a few people that took full advantage and look forward to the report.  Winter fishing is a great time of year to get out on the Kenai river, so pick a window of good weather and get outside!  Good luck and we’ll see you out there.

If you are visiting the Alaska in the fall and the weather is right for you Ling cod and halibut fishing can be very good.  Be sure to dress for a colder days of fishing though.  Be prepared for 25 – 50 degrees after mid Sept.

Just because it’s getting a little cold doesn’t mean that there are not some great fishing opportunities on the Kenai peninsula. We had a great day in late Sept. and the best part was that we were the only boat out there!

tight lines and keep halibut and Ling Cod in mind on your next fall trip to Alaska!

Rainbow Trout fishing has been very good this fall.  Friends and clients  are all getting into big fish and lots of them.  Follow the sockeye salmon and you will be sure to get into some quality trout fishing.  Flesh is starting to really produce some good fish also.   2009 fishing season is coming to an end fast but there is still time to get out on the river with us one more time.  If you think that you may like to fish this season call asap to reserve your spot.  Only a few more weeks of fishing and limited spots available!

RainbowTrout fishing continues to get better. The middle Kenai river king salmon are really dropping eggs now and the bite is on. Large 10 mils worked best today.

King salmon fishing is officially over in Alaska now.  The end of July marks the end of King salmon fishing on the Kenai peninsula.  Though it was a great season we are now geared up and focused on Silver Salmon, Sockeye salmon and rainbow trout.

I had the pleasure of fishing with my family on the last day of King salmon season and this 53″ Buck took an orange cheater.  We ended up landing this fish more than a mile from where it was hooked!!  Though king season is over look for more pictures and info about king fishing with us in the future.  The 2010 season is really not that far away so if you are interested in a prime date be sure to book early.
