Family Friendly Fishing on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula
~ The Kenai River ~
|
The Kenai River, located on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, is the Alaskan equivalent of the Fresh Water Fishing
Capital of Alaska. More anglers travel to this river every year than to any other river in Alaska in pursuit
of the World Class Fishing that this river offers.
The Kenai is divided into three sections each with its own rewards.
Silverhook Sportfishing offers trips to all three of these fishing areas.

Fishing this regally scenic section of river by drift boat offers excellent opportunities to catch

The Upper Kenai River also boasts the opportunity to fish for the elusive
Sockeye (Red) Salmon from
the banks as they continue their journey
to their spawning grounds.
