We fish for these silver bullets in a multitude of ways. One of the most common ways to fish for them is to back troll or soak plugs and eggs. This is a technique much like we use for King Salmon fishing however at times it is better to sit in one spot on anchor and intercept the fish rather than always moving around. Another very popular and one of our more favorite ways of fishing for Silver’s is throwing spinners with light weight tackle and spinning reels. This is truly a blast and an absolute thrill for the novice and experienced angler alike.
There are tremendous opportunities to fish for Silver Salmon and Rainbow Trout with a fly rod on the Kenai River. I have been privileged enough to fish and guide in many places around the world and one way I love to fish the most is with my fly rod. For this reason I have put together a Fly Fishing Only package for a minimum and maximum of 2 persons per boat. This in turns gives each angler plenty of casting room and allows more one on one instruction if needed or wanted. Chasing Silvers with a fly rod on the Kenai is a fantastic test of ones angling skills, yet is productive enough that a novice can hone in on ones technique and have a fantastic time doing so.
Something to keep in mind when you are looking at booking a conventional or fly fishing trip like this, is that on every even year we have a bonus run of Pink Salmon come into the Kenai Peninsula rivers. These fish come in by the millions and are very….very aggressive biters. They are a smaller less desirable eating fish by some peoples account but don’t let that detour you from fishing for them. Pound for pound I think, as well as many others do, that these fish are some of the most aggressive, hardest fighting, action packed fish out there. Pink Salmon are truly a great fish to come and fish for with a fly rod or conventional gear alike and even better yet bring along your younger aspiring angler that would like to catch fish until their hearts are content.
If fishing for these hard fighting fish during a truly great, colorful, and less crowded time of year sounds like something you would be interested in contact us and let’s set you up with one of our fantastic Silver Salmon fishing trips.
