Alaskan Angling Adventures offers you the chance to fish in search of King, Silver, and Sockeye Salmon, as well as Dolly Varden and Rainbow Trout. Launching out of Cooper Landing, Sterling or Kasilof you will be fishing in the heart of the Chugach National Forest or the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge while still being an easy drive from local cities.

You will be spending your day winding along one of the area’s many rivers aboard Mike’s 20’ Willie Drift Boat. Built in 2009, this sturdy, modern vessel is the perfect tool for getting into the very best waters. Many of the local fisheries are drift boat-only, so you can leave the noise and pollution behind you and focus on the fishing.

You can take your pick of local rivers to explore, each offering great and unique opportunities. Head deep into the Upper Kenai River, following its path through the Kenai Mountains and into the Chugach National Forest. Drift along the Kalisof River, or the Middle Kenai River making your way through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Whatever you do, you can trust your guide to get you fishing in the best spots. Mike has been fishing his whole life and is never happier or more at home than when on the water. He will teach you all about the local wildlife and nature and will get you on catches the likes of which you have never seen.

Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome, with everything you need for world-class fishing provided on your trip. Your guide will even clean and fillet all your Salmon at the end of the day, ready to enjoy as soon as you get home. Please be advised that all Trout and Char are catch and release only.

This truly is an incredible opportunity, fishing in untouched wilderness for hard-fighting fish with an experienced guide and top tackle. So get out into the country and get ready for a trip you will forever look back on and smile.

Sales tax is included in the rates.

    Half Day Trip with Captain Mike

    Half Day Trip – Upper Kenai River on July 8, 2021 • 4 adults • 1 child

    What a day! My son and I went out with Captain Mike and had the time of our lives. Knowledgeable and skilled at finding the best places and explanations of what to do. Additionally, there was an incident with another boat on the river, who needed assistance. Mike was quick to help and handled the situation with thoughtful professionalism.

    My son and I had an awesome day with Mike Adams on the upper Kenai River. Mike was very patient with us teaching my son and I how to use the fly rods. We had an amazing float and I highly recommend Mike Adams! Dan and Brent from Michigan

    Great Trip with Captain Mike!

    Half Day Trip – Upper Kenai River on July 12, 2019 • 3 adults

    My father, brother and I had a great half day trip with Mike! He definitely knows the river and had us on fish all the time. We just showed up and all the gear was in the boat and ready. All we had to do was get in our seats and wait for him to give us our poles. Then we were off on the most beautiful river ever. Even though we had limited fishing knowledge or experience, with Captain Mike's help, we each caught many fish! If you can get on Mike's schedule, do it!

    A day on the river

    Full Day Trip - Middle Kenai River on July 4, 2018 • 2 adults

    My Dad and I booked a day river cruise with Mike and had a great time fishing. Mike was very responsive and easy to work with prior and during the trip. He really worked the river making sure we had a chance to fish all areas and taught us various techniques for river fishing. I would recommend Mike to others and look forward to booking again with him.

Full day salmon trip Kenai River
Full Day Trip – Private on July 13, 2023 • 2 adults

Even though we where in between salmon runs, Mike took us rite to where he thought salmon would be hanging. We limited out in several hours. Great trip and guide, no reason to look anywhere else. We’ll book with Mike again. Rick and Tina
