Alaskan Gamefisher - Kenai River 

If you’re an avid angler and nature lover, to you Kenai River will be heaven on Earth. Alaskan Gamefisher and Captain Mel Erickson are here to show you the best of both worlds and take you on unforgettable fishing trips, all with the stop-and-stare nature as your backdrop.

Salmon fishing is always fun, but going after these underwater VIPs in Alaska is about as good as it can get. Chinook Salmon just happens to be Alaska’s state fish for over half a century, and for all the good reasons. They’re abundant in this area, will definitely pose a challenge to reel in, and make the best meal you could ask for. You should also be on the lookout for Coho and Sockeye, that could just as easily find their way to your cooler.

The optimal time to fish Kenai River and make the most of it is between mid-May and September when the bite is red-hot and so is the fun you’ll have. Capt. Mel is a Salmon fishing specialist since he’s been doing it for almost 3 decades.

He’ll provide you with all the adequate fishing equipment including rods, reels, and tackle. Cleaning and filleting of your catch is also complimentary, so the results of your hard day’s work can be on your table the same day.
The Captain will provide bait when allowed.

For starters, you’ll come aboard a 30’ Willie Predator rigged with an outboard 50 HP Yamaha engine to take you to the best fishing grounds. The vessel is fully outfitted to accommodate 5 persons fishing comfortably and wrestling their new personal Salmon record.

Bring the whole family and enjoy a fishing vacation where you can share your angling passion with the people closest to you – that’s the stuff memories are made of. Capt. Mel and his first mate will go out of their way to turn your time on the water into an awesome experience.
