Our Kenai River Fishing Report will give you a “reel” look into the fishing conditions daily on the lower Kenai River in Soldotna as well as frequent Kenai River fishing reports for the other areas of the river including Kenai, Sterling, and Cooper Landing sections. We also add Kasilof River fishing report information to this section when our guests fish that nearby river. Occasionally, we’ll do a special spotlight Alaska fishing report on another river system on the Kenai Peninsula such as the Anchor River, Russian River, Ninilchik River, Deep Creek, Quartz Creek or the saltwater ocean fisheries of Homer, Deep Creek/Ninilchik and Seward. Our reports are from our own family or real guest experiences and tell a story of the “reel” fishing you’ll experience here in Alaska.
