Kenai River Fishing Adventures is located in Kenai and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Also, check out Homer Fishing Adventures – we have a saltwater boat out of Homer that’s fishing for Halibut, Salmon, and Rockfish!

Capt. Forrest and his business partner will do their best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 5 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Chinook, Sockeye, Coho, and Pink Salmon, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 20’ Alumaweld boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. It runs on a 50 HP Mercury engine and uses GPS and a fishfinder.

All the fishing gear is included. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will also clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Kenai River Fishing Adventures.

Half day trip with Captain Skylar

VERIFIED

We had an amazing trip! Captain Skylar was very informative and took time with each of us to make sure we knew how to handle the reels correctly. Once we caught a fish, he would talk us through how to land it. He knew all the state rules and made sure we followed them. Our grandson had SEVERAL questions because he likes to know everything he can about fishing, and Captain Skylar answered each one in a gentle tone and very patiently. If we ever get the chance to come back, I would actually ask if Captain Skylar was available because of how informative and patient he was with us all. Overall it was a great experience and one that we would love to repeat!

Half Day trip with Capt. Skylar

VERIFIED

Capt. Skylar was interactive with us and helped coach us so we could catch our limit. He was very professional and wanted to make sure we caught fish and had a great time! I saw other guides sitting on the bank in a lawn chair but NOT Capt. Skylar. Everything was as mentioned in his trip description or better. Go fishing with Capt. Skylar, you will not be disappointed!
