As the years have gone by, it’s harder & harder to capture all the great fishing moments our guests and our family experience here at Kenai Riverfront Resort. So, for 2024 we’ve put together this compilation of fish photos that tell some of the story for our guests to savor and for us to remember with fondness.

Like the family from Martha’s Vinyard, Massachusetts who bought 1 day fishing licenses, rented poles at the Snack & Tack, and proceeded to catch 5 limits (30 Sockeye), all in a day’s fun! And then, the whole family jumped in the river for multiple floats down to the dock, with some Sauna time in between.

Or the lovely couple from Kansans (former Alaskans) who came for a night, cancelled their reservations at another camp, stayed for almost a week, and then came back for a 1 night encore visit after they went to Homer. He liked our smoked salmon so much he went home and built a replica of our ancient smokehouse. Wow!

And we can’t forget the other wonderful family from Kansas, who’s 3 boys had a blast fishing & running & playing around camp…oh and thank you again for the wonderful bottle of wine you left us!

Then there was the couple from Munich, Germany who were an absolute treat and kindly took smoked salmon to our lifelong friend Christoph in Germany.

Oh, the pre-honeymoon couple of young Doctors who came all the way from Switzerland (she was a guest when she was a child and wanted to come back!). We had great times fishing & swimming & feasting.

Or our favorite seasonal guest family from the air force in Anchorage who doctored up some great times for us on the riverfront and who also built a 2.0 version of my 40+ year old smoker to try and replicate our delicious smoked salmon.

Also, the 2 fathers/2 sons that came from the Avocado Farm in California (with fresh avocados in tow) and filled a fish box to feast on with their families back home.

And the sweet family from Montana who fished like crazy and still somehow found time to install some electrical outlets & switches for us! Happy Hunting in Montana friends!

Lest we forget, and you know who you are, some very kind guests from England, Kentucky, Utah, Michigan, Texas, Fiji & Alaska (most notably our longest standing guests from Anchorage via Mississippi who have stayed with us for 22 years and counting). They have all enriched our lives here on the Kenai River so much.

And, last but so so far from least, our new dear friends from Wyoming and Slovenia, two couples that touched our lives in immeasurable ways. We can’t wait until we all meet again!
