Day Trip Prices

Plan Your Day On The Kenai

Headed to the Kenai Peninsula during your Alaskan vacation? Do not pass up the opportunity to spend a day fishing the Kenai River for rainbow trout. The trout here are wild, native, and legendary. All summer and into the fall the Kenai is the place to be for tangling with trout over 10 lbs.

The Kenai River is one of the best trout fishing rivers in the world and is an experience that should not be missed. Whether you are an experienced angler or have never fished before, spending some time on the Kenai River will be a highlight of your Alaska trip. We offer full day, 6 hour, and 1/2 day fly fishing or spin fishing trips. We provide all necessary gear for fishing, expert instruction, and deep knowledge about the river and its inhabitants. Your guides are the owners and have been fanatically guiding trout on the Kenai since 2005.

Caution, many folks fishing a day with us have turned into longtime repeat clients. Your Kenai River experience will leave you wanting more!

"This is world-class flyfishing for big rainbows on beautiful water. Jeremy is a fantastic guide who puts you on fish and really knows the rivers, techniques and Alaska’s fishery. Top notch!"
Vic Velton
“We had such an exceptional day of catching large rainbow trout on the Kenai River. We immediately caught fish with Nigel, and we also fished areas that other guides routinely passed up which worked out well, because the two largest fish we caught that day were in areas that others drifted by… we would recommend Driftaway to anyone who wants to land large rainbows on the Kenai River."

"My group of 8 had the pleasure of fishing with Jeremy and Nick the third week of September 2018 and had an unforgettable experience! Regardless of the varied conditions, they worked hard at both staying on top of what the fish were doing and at TEACHING us how to catch them! Lot’s of quality rainbows and lots of opportunities at giant bows! These guys never stopped adjusting, never stopped coaching, and never stopped having FUN! Cannot wait to return!"

"My wife and I booked a stay at Silver Tip Cabins, and we fished for trout one day with Nigel. It was fantastic. The cabin we stayed in was quiet, spacious, comfortable, and very clean. Nigel was a wonderful guide who was patient with us and very knowledgable about the river, the wildlife and Alaska in general. We caught some nice rainbow trout and had an enjoyable day out. The boat and the equipment were state of the art. The second day we did a fly out trip which Jeremey helped us book. Awesome! We caught sockeye salmon, saw bears, and several eagles. We were able to vacuum seal and freeze our fish at Silver Tip and got them back to Montana easily. Soldotna is only a few miles from their location which is another plus. I highly recommend these folks, they are top-notch. We would definitely go back if given the opportunity."

"As a resident Alaskan, I have fished all over the State and with many guides. Jeremy and Nick do it right. They know the river and work it hard. Their equipment is all first class. They are a great choice for a day trip or stay with them close to the river. Whether you are an experienced fly fisherman or a novice they know how to provide a great experience."
