Flowing from Skilak Lake, the Kenai River slowly picks up speed through some fantastic fish-producing habitat. While technically the Lower River, locals call this section the "Middle". Fly-fishing is not the norm on the Lower Kenai, but fantastic opportunities exist. Exceptionally large rainbows are common as well as dollies, sockeye, kings, silvers and pink salmon. We often shift to this stretch of the river during peak fishing periods.
The Lower Kenai is not drift only. We utilize a motor on our drift boats for easy access into and out of the fishery. A Lower ("Middle") drift can be a great addition to several days on the Upper Kenai.
