This was my second trip to Great Alaska Lodge and as always I had a fantastic time....
One Day fishing from Anchorage
Anchorage hotel pickup, 2 1/2 hour transfer to riverside lodge/lunch/guided salmon charter/return to your Anchorage hotel.
We have been offering our now famous one-Day Kenai River Fishing Trips
(with transfers) for nearly thirty years, and over 4000 guests have been able to add a day of fishing on the famous Kenai River to their inside passage Cruise or independent tour of Alaska. All guides have completed a Kenai River guide training course, are current in first aid and CPR and operate custom power and driftboats specifically designed for our home river.
SEASONS AND CLOSURES: June and July generally focus on the world famous Kenai King salmon (the word's largest salmon) with August and September featuring feisty Silver Salmon and/or Rainbow Trout. (All day trips are a "catch of the day" scenario...the species you will be targeting will depend upon river conditions and your guides discretion). Please check our seasonal chart for the available species during your specific time frame. Please keep in mind that much like our one day bear viewing, each and every day of the season is to itself unique. Our large Kenai River King Salmon, in particular, are a trophy species and not everyone catches their trophy- however the beautiful round trip from Anchorage, along with time spent on this beautiful river make every trip a success. If you have any questions about the type of fishing you will be experiencing, please contact our expert office staff today.
