Highlights
Fish in one of the most beautiful settings on earth with us! Rare permits give us the ability to share this entire stretch of river with you. Experience the upper Kenai river on an 8 hour full-day guided fishing trip in 20 foot custom drift boats sometimes stopping in the best places to do some Kenai River wade fishing from shore. Fly fishing and spin fishing in small groups provides a personalized experience with your seasoned local guide/instructor Mike Adams. Enjoy the Chugach National Forest and/or the upper Kenai National Wildlife Refuge with the chance of seeing the local wildlife that abounds here. Fishing on the upper Kenai River is an unparalleled experience. Fishing for native Kenai River rainbow trout and dolly varden char is an excellent choice. Cooper Landing salmon fishing is also fantastic during our two Kenai River sockeye salmon runs and our two silver salmon runs.

5Amazing Salmon Fishing Excursion
We booked with Mike Adams for 3 days salmon fishing at Cooper Landing and he also made our living arrangements for our visit. Mike was flexible with our time spent on the river. He put us is very active fishing areas at each stop. We've never fished with a fly rod and Mike was great in teaching us how to use a fly rod and be able to land the salmon. Mike cleaned and vacuum sealed the fish we chose to keep and take home with us. The cabin we stayed at was exactly what we wanted to it sat right on the Kenai River. The views were amazing. We will plan another trip to Alaska and book with Alaska Angling Adventures again. Thanks Mile!
5Outstanding fishing guide!
Mike is an amazing guide and teacher! I’ve had three guided salmon fishing trips in my time in AK and he’s simply the best. He knows where the fish are takes his job very seriously. Incredible time with my sons and brother in law — Highly recommend and plan on using him again next year!
5Hopefully more than a once in a life time experience
Mike Adams arranged everything except air fare and rent a car. We fished 5 days and had 2 days off for travel. Fished 2 days for halibut in Homer Alaska with Maverick Charter. Then traveled to Coopers Landing and fished for sockeye salmon and trout. Mike Adams let us experience multiple ways to fish. He also arranged for a float plan to a remote lake where we salmon fished right along with brown bears about 25 yards from our boat. Very cool. Our housing accommodations in Homer and Coopers landing was 5 stars. In Homer Maria send a sack breakfast with us each day and the day we left Homer we had a huge breakfast with her staff. In Coopers Landing Mike Adams prepared a sack lunch each day we fished. He is very organized and a great communicator. Fishing was great saw moose, eagles and bears. He is very knowledgeable about the Alaskan environment and cares deeply about preserving it. He is a great fishing quiet and a better person. Thanks again Mike. Bryan and Corey Black.
5Fantastic week long Alaskan fishing trip
Great weeklong trip arranged by Mike. Two days in Homer fishing for halibut on The Maverick. Action was fast and everyone limited both days. Majestic B&B was wonderful. Fished the Upper Kenai with Mike for sockeyes. Got our limits of fresh fish. Next day flew with Talon Air to fish Lake Clark for sockeyes. Quick limits but the bears fishing was the treat. Final day we fished the river with Mike and caught sockeyes, rainbows and Dolly Vardons. Cabin on the river was fantastic. Fourteen years since I fished with Mike. It won’t be that long until the next time.Mike’s knowledge of the river and fish combined with great equipment makes for a first class trip.
5Fantastic Salmon Fishing
This trip worked out perfect. Out guide absolutely knew what he was doing!
5Mike is your guide!
We always choose Mike when visiting this area of Alaska. He knows the river and got us right where we needed to be. My family has experienced and novice fishermen and Mike takes the time to provide the guidance that each needs. If he says meet early, do it! We limited out on reds in 3 hours. We will be back!

About Soldotna
Soldotna is a small Kenai Peninsula town on the Kenai River, known for its salmon fishing and as the base for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
Soldotna stands on the Kenai River in the lowlands of the western Kenai Peninsula, where the Sterling Highway crosses the water on a long bridge. It began as a homesteading settlement after the Second World War and is now the commercial centre of the peninsula, with shops, a hospital and the offices of the borough government. The river here runs wide and cold, a milky turquoise from glacial silt.
