Fishing in Kenai Lake
Fishing in Kenai Lake isn’t reserved for hard-core anglers. Anyone in need of an exciting adventure far north is welcome to come fishing on these mesmerizing glacier waters. Does the thought of cold winters in Alaska immediately give you chills? Don’t worry. The fishing season is open during summer, so you can leave your snowsuit at home.
The lake and its tributaries are home to a variety of game fish. You can expect great King Salmon fishing in late May and early June. In July, Sockeye Salmon take the spotlight, followed by Coho Salmon in August. Coho is the most aggressive type of Salmon and a real treat for every angler willing to put up a fight. September brings fly fishing adventures and trophy-sized Rainbow Trout. The end of the season is marked by stunning, color-changing Dolly Varden.
These waters hold some of the largest King (Chinook) Salmon in the area, and there are several IGFA records to prove it. If you’re after Salmon specifically, however, look for a guided trip downstream to the lower parts of the Kenai River, since Salmon fishing is off limits in the lake.
Trips vary from four to nine hours, depending on how much time you want to spend on the water. The best departure point for Kenai Lake is Cooper Landing, but if you want to fish downstream, look for guides around Soldotna.
Rules & Regulations
A freshwater license is needed for all non-resident anglers over 16 and resident anglers over 18. You can get your Alaska fishing license online. If you intend to catch and keep King Salmon, you need a special stamp.

My son and I had an awesome day with Mike Adams on the upper Kenai River. Mike was very patient with us teaching my son and I how to use the fly rods. We had an amazing float and I highly recommend Mike Adams!

Overall had a great experience. I think it would be nice to have the option to bring more fish home; perhaps that was something I misread ahead of time but otherwise no complaints. Sounds like we just missed out on catching lots of salmon during a salmon run.

What a day! My son and I went out with Captain Mike and had the time of our lives. Knowledgeable and skilled at finding the best places and explanations of what to do. Additionally, there was an incident with another boat on the river, who needed assistance. Mike was quick to help and handled the situation with thoughtful professionalism.

One of the best fishing trips up here in Alaska. Capt Jasonโs instruction was spot on.

We - myself and my 2 boys (17 and 21) spent the day with Jason along the Kenai river. We are fishing novices and Jason was quite firm but patient with our skill level. The boys absolutely loved the fishing, scenery and Jason's fishing wisdom. Great trip, great fishing and a wonderful time was had by all. We would definitely recommend Jason and hope to visit again soon.

My father, brother and I had a great half day trip with Mike! He definitely knows the river and had us on fish all the time. We just showed up and all the gear was in the boat and ready. All we had to do was get in our seats and wait for him to give us our poles. Then we were off on the most beautiful river ever. Even though we had limited fishing knowledge or experience, with Captain Mike's help, we each caught many fish! If you can get on Mike's schedule, do it!

We booked a trip with Jasonโs Guide Service because of the reviews, and it did not disappoint! Our captain was Mike and although fishing was slow, we had the best time and couldnโt have asked for a better experience. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and was super nice. 10/10!
