Get out on the river early. Book a full day as the experience of being on the river is magical.

Know that you can buy an inexpensive styrofoam cooler from a local sporting goods, grocery or general store — and save significantly by taking the cooler with you on your flight home. Remember to keep the cardboard box when you buy the cooler! The airlines won’t check the styrofoam cooler unless it’s enclosed in a cardboard box.

Read up on the flossing technique before you go. It’s not hard but it takes a bit of practice to get fluid with it.

Watch how it’s done on YouTube like we did and it will be a lot easier on the sockeye salmon, and the salmon is a very powerful fish to bring in

If you're fishing for the very first time, don't worry about what you do no know. Robert takes care of everything...I mean everything! He teaches you how to fish and provides all the gear. Just show up with a fishing license which is only $15 for one day for non residents.

This is historically a good time to fish for both KIng and Sockeye. We (and our guides) were unaware of gillnetting in progress which affected how many fish were upstream. I'm not sure if there is a way to predict if gillnetting will be in progress, just that it very much seemed to affect the fishing, as commented on by the guides

First time salmon fishing and first time salmon fishing on the river. The fishing is sitting right off the bank anchored down while you lure is diving close to the bottom from the current. Just a lot of sitting waiting for a bite.

July is on and off just like a lot of people talk about. But if you take your crew there and keep lines in the water there's a good chance you'll have Salmon for dinner

If you're after Salmon, pay very close attention to the timing of the Runs and what is happening with the Dip Netting. In hindsight, we should have gone to the Kasilof or down to Seward as both had many more fish than the Kenai during the time we had available.

Have a plan for your catch. Grocery stores have coolers you can transport fish home in, local processors can freeze and ship them, or you could catch and release. Ask your guides what the nearby options are and the price range for each.
