Ron Doebler Fly Fishing Adventures is located in Cooper Landing and offers to show you a memorable day exploring the Kenai River's fruitful waters!

Come on aboard with Capt. Ron, who has one high priority, to get you on some fish! He's been fishing the Kenai waters his whole life. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, and spinning based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 7-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Dolly Varden and Salmon, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 16' Willies boat that can safely take up to 3 anglers. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please keep in mind you'll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. There will be complimentary snacks, and drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer. Kids are welcome aboard, so you're free to make it a family adventure.

Incredible fishing experience

1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye A.M. on June 18, 2026 • 2 adults

My friend and I had never fished before. We both caught 3 salmon out of the Russian river, a total of 6 fish (18.6 lbs of filet). Dylan and Ron are great guides and I’d recommend to anyone (beginners or above).

Trip of a lifetime!

Full Day Upper Trout and Sockeye on July 29, 2025 • 2 adults

We ended up throwing an audible at the last second. We decided to go chase sockeye salmon and it was intense! Ended up catching our limit! We fished with Dylan on this trip and it felt like fishing with an old friend from the get go. Great experience. Great guides. Could not recommend this any more highly.

Ron is a great and nice guide. Fun to go fishing with. Equipment/communication could be improved

1/2 Day Upper Trout/Sockeye II P.M. on June 16, 2026 • 2 adults

Ron teaches you how to fish salmon. He taught us how to flyfish, which ended up with us catching a sockeye salmon fully independently. If you prefer, he can also hook salmon for you and let you reel them in.

Two areas to improve would be equipment -- his smallest hip waders were too big and had holes. He also didn't tell us to bring a belt to use hip waders, so the other participants also ended up soaked.

And you need to pay in cash

Kenai River experience

Full Day Upper Trout/Sockeye II on July 25, 2025 • 2 adults

Ron and Dylan were wonderful.  They took us right to the spots where fish were located.  We caught some nice trout.  There was a lot of salmon too.  I highly recommend floating the Kenai with Ron
