It’s officially break-up season on the Kenai Peninsula, it’s that strange time when our snow disappears and leaves us a dusty, muddy, and wet ground. For us Alaskans, this is our last few weeks to enjoy the calmness of Alaska before our 2022 Alaska fishing season gets underway. Here at Kenai Drift Anglers, we’re preparing for another excellent fishing season. We will discuss Sockeye Salmon on the Kenai River, furthermore what to expect from booking a Sockeye Salmon fishing charter with Kenai Drift Anglers.
How should I book my Alaska fishing trip for 2022
As most local fishing guide outfits here in Soldotna, Alaska is sitting on very full calendars by this time of the year, the best bet is to be flexible with your fishing dates. Our repeat guests always book fishing first around December or January and then their other Alaska activities and lodging. Here at Kenai Drift Anglers we still offer limited spots on our most popular Sockeye Salmon fishing charters on the Kenai River.
2022 Kenai River Late-Run Sockeye Salmon run
So what is it with all the hype of a Sockeye Salmon charter with Kenai Drift Anglers? Well, our 2021 Kenai River Late-Run Sockeye nearly hit 2.5 Million Sockeye over just two months. Furthermore, this provided anglers with limited time in the Kenai Peninsula to experience an Alaska fishing trip of a lifetime. For our guest looking to fill the freezers, Sockeye Salmon provides the opportunity to have the best wild Sockeye Salmon at home. Wild Sockeye Salmon prices have skyrocketed with large ranges of prices from $20.00 per lb. to as high as $70.00 per lb. Our guests at Kenai Drift Anglers have seen 35-50 lbs of filleted Sockeye Salmon after one of our charters.
There is also that appreciation of being sustainably caught with a rod & reel vs. commercially caught. Most importantly, knowing you caught these Sockeye Salmon to serve to your guest and family at your own home. We constantly get texts and emails of our guests cooking their very own Sockeye Salmon at home, we love to help with that!
Kenai Drift Anglers
As we remind our guests, Kenai Drift Anglers is an exclusive small fishing guide outfit that specializes in the fishing aspect of your Alaska fishing trip. We don’t outsource our guests and try to book you with other outfits. You fish with me, Scotty Daletas. Many outfits here run themselves wild dealing with lodging while also being a fishing guide, constantly outsourcing guests to other fishing companies. Here at Kenai Drift Anglers, all we’re focused on doing is spending the evenings preparing for your charter.
We believe 90% of the fish are caught the night before.
