Kenai River Fly Fishing Guide

Welcome to Drifting On The Fly – your fishing guide & lodge on Alaska’s beautiful Kenai Peninsula

Welcome to Drifting On The Fly, your premier Kenai River fishing guide service. I am your guide, Scott Sager, and since 2002 I have been guiding anglers on the legendary waters of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, specializing in drift boat fishing for trophy rainbow trout and world-class salmon.

The Kenai River offers some of the most productive fishing in Alaska. Whether you want to sight-fish for massive Kenai River rainbow trout, battle a powerful king salmon, or experience the fast-paced action of sockeye salmon on a fly rod, this river delivers unforgettable opportunities for anglers of all skill levels.

We provide fully guided drift boat trips on the Kenai River, allowing you to fish productive runs and secluded sections that powerboats cannot reach. Our well-maintained boats meet all Coast Guard regulations and are designed for comfort, safety, and an authentic Alaska fishing experience. As we drift through turquoise waters surrounded by towering mountains and wildlife, you will see why the Kenai River is considered one of the greatest fisheries in the world.

From peak summer salmon runs to incredible fall rainbow trout fishing, every trip is customized to your goals. We target rainbow trout, king salmon, sockeye salmon, silver salmon, and Dolly Varden throughout the season.

If you are ready to experience the Kenai River at its best, give us a call to book your guided fishing trip and let us help you create the Alaska fishing adventure you have always dreamed about.

Had an absolute blast with Scott. His knowledge of the fishery, wildlife, and surrounding area is rivaled only by his passion for guiding and fishing! He not only provided an amazing day of fishing but an experience that I'll never forget. He's a great guide and an even better friend. Highly recommend if you're looking for a way to enjoy the Alaskan trip you've always wanted!

If you're thinking about booking a fishing trip and don't go with Captain Scott, you're making a huge mistake. This guy knows the water like the back of his hand — every tide, every drop-off, and every honey hole. Whether the fish are biting like crazy or playing hard to get, it's always an unforgettable time on the water with Scott. He brings the perfect mix of skill, local knowledge, and personality.

Scott was a fantastic guide and got us on a ton of fish! We caught our sockeye limit quickly and then caught plenty of rainbow trout and dolly varden on the fly rods. It was impressive how well Scott knew both the kenai river and the kasilof river. Would highly recommend him for anyone looking to have a good day of fishing!

Incredible experience! Scott is an outstanding salmon fishing guide and truly an expert on the Kasilof river. He knew exactly where to go, how the fish were moving, and what techniques worked best throughout the day. What really impressed me was how well they worked with everyone in our group, from beginners to seasoned anglers. Patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does.
