Freshwater Fishing

The Kenai Peninsula offers some of the best freshwater fishing in all of Alaska. Alaska Fish On Charters offers a variety of fishing opportunities utilizing both power boats and drift boats in addition to several remote hike-in destinations .

Kenai River The world famous Kenai river is a sport fishing mecca and home to the largest king salmon ever caught on rod and reel weighing in at 97 pounds. Located just a few miles from Alaska Fish On Charters, the Kenai River offers some of the best sockeye salmon in all of Alaska and boasts large returns of silver salmon and pink salmon along with unparalleled numbers of trophy-sized rainbow trout and dolly varden.

Kasilof River Known as the “little brother” to the Kenai River, the Kasilof River begins at Tustumena Lake, the largest Lake on the Kenai Peninsula, and flows west for 17 miles before draining into the Cook Inlet. The river supports king salmon, sockeye salmon, silver salmon, pink salmon and steelhead trout as well as large numbers of dolly varden and rainbow trout.

FRESHWATER

Ninilchick River The Ninilchik River is one of the crown jewel streams of the lower Kenai Peninsula and offers a sizable run of king salmon in the spring, silver salmon opportunities in the fall, and a prolific run of steelhead in both the fall and spring. The shallow, tea colored stream is a local favorite among serious anglers.

Russian River The Russian River is a dynamic, 12-mile long river at the heart of one of the most prolific fisheries in Alaska. It offers impressive runs of both sockeye and silver salmon along with large numbers of both rainbow trout and dolly varden. This crystal clear river begins at Upper Russian Lake and winds its way through Lower Russian Lake until it empties into the Kenai River at the Kenai-Russian River Confluence.

FRESHWATER

Fly-Out Fishing and Bear Viewing

Alaska West Air is located just 10 miles from Alaska Fish On Charters and offers a number of fly-out fishing and hunting options for the most adventurous and novice anglers alike. By utilizing a multitude of aircraft, including turbine de Havilland Otters, de Havilland Beavers, Cessna 207s, and an array of backcountry capable supercubs, the ability to access even Alaska’s most remote regions is just a short drive away.

Big River Lakes Undoubtedly one of the most popular fly-out destinations in Alaska, Big River Lakes offers something for everyone. The trip starts with a thrilling 30 minute flight across the Cook Inlet from Kenai to Redoubt Bay. Eager anglers are met with stunning views of massive 10,000 ft volcanoes, expansive glaciers, and endless views of the Alaska Range of mountains before they even land. Once on the water, endless opportunities at vast amounts of both sockeye and coho salmon await. Wolverine Creek, located on the northwest side of Big River Lake offers some of the best bear viewing in all of Alaska and a very popular destination for non-anglers.

Kustatan River The Kustatan River is located across the Cook Inlet and directly west of Kenai. A short, 20 minute flight via float plane puts anglers in one of the most productive coho salmon fisheries on the entire west side of the Cook Inlet. The shallow river is traversed via jet boat and fishing is mostly done with cured salmon eggs due to the extremely turbid water and the lack of visibility. When conditions are right and the water is clear, flies and spinners can also be used with great success.

FLY-OUT

Crescent Lake Accessible via float plane and only a 35 minute flight from Kenai, Crescent Lake lies in the heart Lake Clark National Park and offers outstanding fishing and bear viewing opportunities for its visitors. Substantial amounts of sockeye and coho salmon run up the Crescent River each summer offering abundant opportunities for both experienced and novice anglers. Resident lake trout and arctic char are plentiful and brown and black bears travel the shoreline in search of their next meal. Crescent Lake is truly a spectacular and wild place.

FLY-OUT

Saltwater Fishing

The Kenai Peninsula offers extraordinary saltwater fishing opportunities in both the Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound.

Cook Inlet The Cook Inlet is home to a variety of saltwater game species including halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and salmon. From Alaska Fish On Charters, just a short 45 minute drive to Ninilchick or 90 minute drive to Homer puts anglers in some of the most accessible and predictable saltwater fishing in Alaska. The 200 mile long and 35 mile wide Cook Inlet holds one of the world’s healthiest and most productive halibut fisheries and offers spectacular views of the volcanoes Redoubt, Iliamna, and Augustine. In addition to fishing, these trips often include sightings of whales, otters, and other Alaskan marine life.

The Cook Inlet has two halibut limit per angler daily limit for charter vessels. This is especially appealing for those looking to fill their freezers as the majority of the halibut fisheries in Alaska only allow one halibut to be retained per day. This is a testament to how fantastic of a fishery the Cook Inlet has been and continues to be.

SALTWATER

Prince William Sound Located on the eastern side of the Kenai Mountain Range and a scenic two hour drive from Kenai, Seward offers anglers an opportunity to catch large halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and salmon all in one trip. These day trips depart from the Seward boat harbor in Resurrection Bay and travel into the Gulf of Alaska towards Montague Island. It’s not uncommon to see a multitude of marine life, including harbor seals, sea lions, and whales while on the water. Saltwater harvest limits in the Prince William Sound offer anglers the opportunity to really fill their coolers. With daily per angler limits of up to six salmon, four rockfish, two halibut, and one lingcod, retaining over 100 pounds of fish fillets per person isn’t an uncommon event!

Adventure

Hiking - The Johnson Pass, Resurrection Pass, and Russian Lakes-to-Resurrection River trails of the Kenai Peninsula make up Alaska’s most developed trail system. Turn-of-the-century prospectors blazed these trails and carried millions of dollars of gold over them. The well-worn footpaths climb through forested valleys to open meadows shimmering with wildflowers and gem-colored lakes.

Russian River Falls This wildlife sweet spot is worth a visit. The Russian Lakes Trail begins off the access road to the Russian River Campground in Cooper Land ing, at milepost 52 of the Sterling Highway. Get off the beaten path, hike two miles to the falls and enjoy the immediate reward of spectac ular salmon viewing. Summit Creek Trail This meandering, single-track path leads to some of the Kenai Mountain’s most remote and fragile high country. On a route once trekked by gold rush prospectors, this trail ascends from spruce forest through the jungled zone of alders into a realm of sweeping tundra, with incredible views and productive berry picking. Plus, the top of the nine-mile journey ends in Resurrection Pass, about midway through the 39-mile Resurrection Pass Trail.

Johnson Pass Trail The 23-mile Johnson Pass Trail offers hikers, backpackers, and bik ers a well-marked route through a lush pass in the Kenai Moun tains — featuring gradual climbs, two lakes full of trout, and spectacular mountain peaks. Crescent Lake Trail This trail is a good day hike for the whole family. It alternates between open meadows and forests and offers the option of tent camping or staying in Crescent Lake Cabin. There are options for longer hikes and there is a lot of wildlife to be seen such as moose, goats, and bears. Exit Glacier Visitors can hike right up to Seward’s Exit Glacier and feel the dense blue ice while listening to it crackle. Walk the lower trail to get a good photo in front of the glacier face. Or, choose the more challenging 7 mile round-trip Harding Icefield Trail. There is a short ranger-led walk daily at 11am and 3pm, from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
