Fall Trout Fishing on the Kenai

Fall on the Kenai River offers some of the best trout fishing opportunities of the year on the Kenai. As salmon complete their spawning cycle, Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden aggressively feed on eggs and decaying salmon flesh, making them more active and easier to target. Cooler temperatures and lower water levels create ideal fishing conditions, with trout congregating in deep runs and feeding lanes. Whether you’re drifting egg patterns or casting streamers, fall fishing provides a chance to hook into some of the largest trout of the season.

Just finished 4 EPIC days with Alex and Shawn. They are organized and communicated well. The equipment they provided was spot on, and the boats were pro-level Willie that were very comfortable for our party of 3 big guys. Most importantly, they taught us the techniques and PUT US ON THE FISH!!. If I ever return, Chasing Tales Alaska will be my first call!!!

Talk about a trip of a lifetime! Got our limit of silver salmon and then had a fantastic time fly fishing for rainbows. Alex worked hard to get us to ideal spots, had insane patience for broken and snagged lines, and got excited about the fish too. He is super knowledgeable, and all around a great guy to fish with! Highly recommend him! We are definitely going to try to make it back! Also the hats are super cool!
