Tough fishing day on lower Kenai. No Sockeye Salmon to be had. Good Captain and good spot. But run ended early this year.
Corey’s guides are proper fish addicts. Trevor and Dane put us on fish and kept us busy all day on the infamous Kenai River. We brought our whole family inclding a baby and all the kids enjoyed the boat ride and beautiful views. The trout in that river get big bring your A game so you don’t miss your shot.
We had a great time fishing on the Kenai! Best wishing I’ve ever had - we limited on sockeye in an hour!
We had a great time. Kristin and Trevor were awesome and the fishing was so fun.

Your captain
Kenai, Alaska, United States
Born and raised Alaskan. I Grew up in a Salmon hatchery my father ran in Moose Pass. Ive been fishing Alaska since I could walk and have vast knowledge of the fisheries all over South Central Alaska. Being a biologists son and avid fisherman since I could walk, I've found out the intricacies of each fishery the area has to offer. Chugach Backcountry Fishing guides are also all Local Alaskans. We pride ourselves in being one of the only companies that uses local Alaskans for our guides with our captains owning and operating their own hunting and fishing businesses outside of the summer seasons!
