The Kenai Peninsula offers some excellent opportunities for native steelhead fishing. There are absolutely no stocked steelhead in this part of Alaska. These lunkers are all natural!
The Kasilof River has the potential for steelhead in both spring and fall. Since the Kasilof is primarily glacial fed and therefore very silty, this is primarily a bait or lure fishery.
Further south on the Kenai Peninsula, there are three rivers which offer a variety of habitats for steelhead fishing. These rivers are: Deep Creek, Ninilchik, and Anchor. All three of these rivers are not navigable by boat; therefore, this is strictly wading fishing. Also, all three of these rivers are strictly fly-fishing only during steelhead season. Despite this, it is not unusual for anglers to catch several steelhead or more in a day when fishing is good. Steelhead fishing in these three rivers is all catch and release!
We offer guided drift boat steelhead fishing charters on the Kasilof River. We offer guided walk-in steelhead fishing charters on the Deep Creek, Ninilchik, and Anchor Rivers.
