3/4 Day Fishing Trip Rates
The Sweet Spot – More Time, More Flexibility, More Fish
Our 3/4 day fishing trip is the most popular option on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. With around 6 hours on the water, you’ll have plenty of time to chase sockeye, swing for silvers, or drift for trout — all while enjoying a relaxed pace and enough flexibility to adjust with the bite.
This trip is ideal for most guests: not too short, not too long, and loaded with fishing opportunities during every phase of the Alaska summer.

When to Book a 3/4 Day Trip
📅 July: Peak sockeye season — our top recommendation for 3/4 day fishing

☀️ Great for mornings or afternoons — choose what fits your Alaska itinerary
What to Expect
3/4 day trips strike the perfect balance: enough time to fish hard, switch spots, and enjoy the scenery — but without the full-day fatigue. You’ll drift quietly on the Kasilof or run upriver on the Kenai, targeting the fish species that are currently peaking.
You’ll get hands-on guidance from Ian, or full autonomy if you’re experienced. Expect a mix of fun, focus, and flexibility — it’s your trip.
