Kenai River Trout Fishing is home for some of the largest rainbow trout and char in the state. Nutrients provided by the returning salmon runs have developed a healthy food chain and the trout and char benefit from this as well as bears eagles and sea birds. The Kenai mountains provide a scenic backdrop for a float trip on this beautiful river. This fishery is managed as a trophy class fishery by the State of Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and for a special esthetic experience by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This catch and release fishery allows the use of single hook artificial lures only. |
