There's a fish with your name on it in Cooper Landing and Lost Boys Fishing will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on in this area, your Captain is prepared to put you on the fish.
In the Cooper Landing area you will be chasing Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden. Salmon is by special request only. In this area we practice catch and release as a conservation effort for trout and dollies but are more than ready to get salmon for you to bring home! Your captain specializes in fly fishing.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Running a drift boat with space for 4 passengers for trout and up to 5 passengers for salmon. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
If you have any questions about fishing with Lost Boys Fishing, feel free to send Lost Boys Fishing a message down below.
Please note for Salmon fishing the Cooper Landing area is not always the best. We will work with you to ensure the best fishing location to meet your goals!

Half Day trip – Upper Kenai (AM)
Drew was a great host and guide. My son caught twice as many fish as I did and it seemed we were doing everything the same. Still, Drew tried making adjustments for me, like changing the depth, flies, etc. to give me a little more success. It seemed to just be poor luck on my part. We both caught fish and had a great time. Drew seems to know the river very well and knows how to put you on fish. And as my son commented, there were a lot of people paying just to float the river and the rapids. We got to do that and fish, too!

Full Day Trip – Upper Kenai
Drew is an amazing guide. Through his networking, experience, and determination he'll do all in his power to hook you up with salmon! We were flexible as group and had to change our start time and switched to the Kasilof instead of the Kenai, and he delivered. We were lucky of course but we limited out in an hour and half. I already have another charter booked later this summer for Silvers on the Kenai and can't wait to tear them up.

Full Day Trip – Upper Kenai
This was my second time going out with Drew. Just like the first time, he hooked us up with fish! We targeted Trout and Dollies, and were slaying them. Not all trophies but the action was hot. We even had the chance to hook into a few silver salmon as well. Great advice, and great mentoring on techniques to hook into big fish. This won't be the last time I'll go out Lost boys fishing

This is our second trip with Drew. Once on the Kenai River and this time on the Kasilof River. Drew is very kind, informative, loves the area and it shows!! We have had a blast on both of the trips that we’ve been on with him and would highly recommend to ANYONE! As a matter of fact, we wouldn’t want to fish with anyone else when we visit Alaska! Thanks so much Drew, for being amazing!

The time spent with Drew was amazing it was just me and the wife who has never salmon fished before and he made it so easy and simple. Great atmosphere great company and lots of fish. I think I caught my limit in less then two hours.
