Alaska Fly Fishing Kenai
Fishing the Kenai Penninsula?
August 1st I’m off to Alaska for some fishing and sightseeing. According to the fish run charts, it looks like I’ll be arriving just in time for some silver salmon and trout runs. I was wondering if Fly Fishing is THE way to go or if spinning rods were just as effective? I haven’t fly fished in about 10 years, but I still have all my gear. Any particular spinning combo I should use (i.e. 7ft rod with 20 lbs test?). Any particular lures or bait that work well?
Do both and pay for a guide! They will have the equipment you need. then go out on your own after the guide trip. There are tons of small lakes loaded with trout also that fish the same as any other lake. Salmon eggs and night crawlers are the bait of choice. I love to fly fish and had a blast while going to college in Anchorage. I fished for salmon with a guide and usually fished for Kings! Had a blast and Hope you have fun too! I’m sorry I can’t suggest a guide for you I don’t have that info handy! License for fishing in Alaska is cheap! So don’t be worried about the cost of an out of state license.
It sounds like your spinning combo is just fine! That’s what I’d use with light leaders.
