Red
Salmon (Sockeye) Fishing - Fly Fishing Trips
For your next guided
fly fishing trip, our lodge provides access to some of the best salmon
fly fishing in the world. You don't even need to hire a guide for the
trip. The best fly fishing is directly at the lodge. The best way to
catch red Salmon is fly fishing and up to
one million go directly past the lodge. If you do not know how, we
can hire you a guide for one trip and they will teach you about fly
fishing for Reds. After that, you won't need a guide and you can do
your own fly fishing at the lodge. Our lodge, provides much more
privacy than any public fly fishing area. However, if you want even
more privacy, we can arrange a guide for you for any number and
variety of fly fishing trips into
the Kenai River's wilderness. So, for your
next fly fishing trip, stay at our lodge and you can try fly fishing
for salmon with or without a guide.
In addition to fly fishing for trout and Dolly
Varden, in July there is excellent fly fishing directly at the lodge.
In this case, we are specifically referring to Red Salmon. The best
way to catch red Salmon is using flies. The kind of fly is not
critical, the only important thing is that the fly flow with the
current near the bottom. Red salmon do not strike a fly, it is up to
the angler to get the fly into the mouth of the fish swimming
upstream, it does take great technique which must be learned. Once
again, you can use either fly fishing gear or spinning gear.
Red Salmon are as acrobatic as can get. These
fish which go up to a maximum of about fourteen pounds, routinely
break 30 pound test. Last July at the lodge, I hooked 100 of these
amazing fishing in one evening in about two hours of fishing. I only
landed around 10 (I released most of them) and many times these fish
just snapped my 30 pound test. That is Reds fishing! The next
evening I hooked about 70. I use a 10 wt. fly rod and a real with
heavy drag. Even then, palming is absolutely necessary. An 8 wt. rod
is a good minimum.
This would look beautiful on the wall, but you
wouldn't want to eat it!
