Alaska Trip – 2022

by Roy Gunter

Aug 13 - Aug 21  12:00 AM

Fish the Kenai River and nearby streams on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska on Saturday August 13, 2022 through Sunday August 21, 2022 with Roy Gunter (Tel. 831-809-0316; email rgunteriii@yahoo.com). The fishout Includes the following:

  • lodging in the River Front Cabin at Eagle Landing Resort in Cooper Landing (www.eaglelandingresort.net/cabins);
  • all meals cooked by Roy at the cabin;
  • large rented SUV; and
  • 3 guided boat trips down the Kenai River Canyon to Skilak Lake delta.

We are primarily targeting rainbow and dolly varden trout by wading and fly fishing with salmon egg flies/beads, but catch a lot of salmon along with the trout. Recommend 6 wt 10′ rod, but 7-8 wt 9′ or 10′ rods are OK. If you want to keep the entire cost of the trip under $2,000, including airfare and all other expenses, then obtaining an Alaska Airlines credit card to book trip on miles is highly recommended. I have booked my direct flights on Alaska Airlines from San Francisco to Anchorage as follows: Flight 707 leaving San Francisco at 8:15 AM 8/13/22 arriving 11:15 AM and Flight 1487 leaving Anchorage at 11:59 AM 8/21/22 arriving in San Francisco at 6:35 PM. Other club members that have fished with me in Alaska include Mark Traugott, Bob Monoco, Bob Garbarino, Harry Petrakis, Gil Santos, Keith Munger and Don Foskett. Michael DiCiano also has a lot of experience fishing the Kenai River. Anyone interested should contact any of these individuals for an unbiased report. I have fished Alaska’s inland fresh waters for trout almost every year since 1991. If you can hike to a river from a highway around the Kenai River or near the towns of Talkeetna and Seward, then I have probably been there. There are spots for 3 fishermen who have been vaccinated for Covid. If interested, please contact Roy to chat about the trip.
