Full Day Fishing Trip Rates
All-In, All Day – Maximize Your Time on the Water
A full day fishing trip is the ultimate way to experience the Kenai or Kasilof Rivers. With 8+ hours on the water, this trip gives you the most time to chase fish, explore the river, switch spots, and sink into the rhythm of the day. You’ll have more opportunities, more flexibility, and more chances to catch multiple species — especially during peak silver or trout seasons.
If you’re serious about fishing, traveling from far away, or just want to make the absolute most of your Alaska trip, this is the trip for you.

Depending on river and season, your trip may include long drifts, gravel bar stops, scenic backchannel fishing, or boat-side grilling during lunch.
