Fishing Vacations Along the Kennai River in Alaska

Some of the best sports fishing in the world is found along the Kennai River in Alaska. To take advantage of this great fishing vacation opportunity sport fisherman can arrange to stay at a local fishing lodge and sign up for some of their daily fishing charters. Gone Fishin Lodge is one of the quality fishing vacation spots in the area and offers all the amenities an experienced sports fishing buff would expect from a fishing area accomodation.

Gone Fishin Lodge, a Soldotna fishing lodge offers seven day packages, which include a selection of five daily fishing trips. To accomodate all levels of experience among the guests, all daily fishing charter trips are lead by an experienced fishing charter guide and all fishing equipment is provided free as part of the overall accommodation fee.

Most expeditions feature Alaskan fly fishing from drift boats along the picturesque Kennai River. This fishing area is one of the richest in the world, and guests rarely return at night without at least one nice size catch. Each summer, the river is the spawning grounds for salmon from July through August, and the chances are real good that you will net a King Salmon. Rainbow trout and dolly varden visit the area in droves to feed on salmon eggs, and catches are easy on Skilak and Kenai Lake. Visitors will enjoy world class fishing amid beautiful Alaskan mountain scenary.

On special days, you can fish from float planes. Depending on where the fishing expedition heads too you can catch red salmon, silver salmon, and Halibut. In fact, the Kennai River, which flows from Lake Kennai to Lake Skilak is onloy a short distance from the greatest Halibut fishing areas in the world. While trout fishing is catch and throw back trophy fishing, all other fish can be kept, and the Gone Fishin Lodge will clean, pack, and ship free up to 50 pounds of fresh caught fish.

Accomodations area modest but comfortable. They rooms are geared towards fisherman on vacation with bunk beds, refrigerators, and Internet access in each room. There is a large cooking area, and a recreation room where guests can take off from the fishing and spend time playing ping pong or pool.

To add to the delight of a fishing vacation package, the Gone Fishin Lodge offers sightseeing trips through the breath-taking Alaskan scenary. These trips provide the opportunity to see bears and other wild animals in their natural habitat.

The Kennai River area is accessible by plane and a subsequent short car commute, and provides a memorable opportunity for fishing enthusiasts to spend an enjoyable week sports fishing while staying in a quality Soldotna fishing lodge.
