Summer trip

Going to be in AK in June/July. Saw a charter fishing ad for King Sized Adventures on the Kenai River. Is anyone familiar with them? Any other suggestions for charter fishing that time of year? Thanks.

what do you want to catch? during that time your best bet for fish in the river are rainbows and sockeye salmon. rainbow fishing opens up june 13th i believe. the king run is not doing so hot lately. the past few years have been pretty slow down there on the kenai. James McCormick

I know him very well and I do not think he is guiding any more. he gave all his clients to his son but you can use this number to contact him about how to contact his son. They guide for all species on the river and they might even do a half day for rainbows and then other half fish for something else. they have been fishing that river for many many years and jim has been on many tv shows like Hunt for Big Fish and The One and also that one with larry zonka or how you spell his name. here is a link to the type of quality rainbows you can expect to catch

that is jim with the net for ocean fishing if you going to be down by the kenai just drive another few hours and go to homer. there are lots of halibut charters down there that will get you on fish.

I used a guy named Jim Rusk for a week King Fishing. He did a great job for us. He was located in Soldatna.

June/July is pretty vague...especially for timing salmon runs. Any more specific timeframe? What kind of fish do you want to target...reds? kings?

A couple good guides I've fished with are Mark Glassmaker and Fenton Brothers, both on the lower Kenai for kings.
