Our goal is to provide you the best fishing to be found on or around the Kenai Peninsula during your visit. To accomplish this very important goal we work with you to match your interests and goals to the saltwater, rivers and streams in our area to hit the many fish runs at or close to their peak. Our approach assures you of a memorable and productive Alaska fishing experience.

One role of the staff and associates at Soaring Eagle Fishing And Adventures is to provide a variety of fishing experiences appropriate for each week of the fishing season. We are also here to assist visiting fishermen in making wise fishing choices. Our experienced guides and specialty charter operators know how to fish these waters under a variety of fishing conditions and are eager to share their knowledge with you.

The following information will give you a better understanding of the Soaring Eagle fishing experience.

Cook Inlet and especially the area from Bluff Point to Deep Creek offer by far the best, consistent, all around sport fishing in Alaska. There is good to great fishing for salmon and halibut in this area from May through August. We are located squarely in the middle of this fine fishery.

Both Kachamak Bay and Cook Inlet offer king salmon fishing during this entire summer season. This unusual fishing opportunity is available because of the year round presence of feeder king salmon from other parts of Alaska and Canada. Additionally, spawning king salmon return to Kenai Peninsula rivers from late April to early August.

The famous Kenai River, north of our property, has two runs of king salmon each summer. The Kenai fish are the biggest in the State of Alaska. Fish in the 40-80 lb. range are not uncommon.

The Kasilof River, just south of the Kenai River, also has two runs of king salmon. The second run of Kasilof fish reach as much as 75 pounds, with 45-55 pound fish common.

The Ninilchik River, Deep Creek and the Anchor River all enjoy large annual returns of salmon in the 16 to 45 lb league. Each of these offers a delightful river fishing experience and all within ten minutes of your Soaring Eagle cottage.

Because Soaring Eagle Fishing And Adventures is located in the heart of this fishing, many of these fish pass right in front of our location on their way to one of the local rivers.

One of the best times to visit is late July and August. The wildflowers are in bloom, many visitors have returned home, and you will enjoy some of the best weather and fishing of the summer.

During periods of the summer, you will be at the only place in the state where you can catch a king salmon, silver salmon, red salmon, pink salmon, Dolly Varden, a rainbow trout and a steelhead trout all in the same day. The kings, silvers and dollies are available the entire time and the steelhead fishing improves daily from mid August through October on the local rivers. Few other locations provide such a consistently good opportunity to catch this variety of fish.

We haven’t even talked about Halibut yet!


Halibut abound in Cook Inlet during the entire summer. These are great eating fish and grow to the 400lbs. Hundreds of halibut are caught each summer over one hundred pounds. Fish in the 20-50 pound range are considered the best eating fish and are the ones most commonly sought and retained. The larger fish, particularly the females, are often released when caught in order to perpetuate the species.

Fishing the Kenai River once in your life is a must. You may select a full-day of guided fishing there. It is one of the selections on your optional fishing list. . If your goal is to experience other Alaska fishing, our optional trips will provide you with many exciting fishing memories; there are several optional fly-in trips available.

The basic Soaring Eagle Fishing and Adventures weekly package includes three days of guided fishing. Depending on the time of the season these trips may include halibut, salmon and possibly a fly out trip for the day. Again, depending on the time of the visit, a Kenai or Kasilof River trip may be part of the fishing agenda for the week. While we strongly encourage several sightseeing adventures in the area additional fishing trips can easily be added as an alternative.

Additionally, you can also decide to spend a few days on your own fishing the local rivers and streams, using our equipment if you prefer or you can bring some of your own. Guides are available for this type of fishing for a reasonable fee but are not absolutely necessary.

We would be happy to talk directly with you over the telephone to answer any remaining questions and to help plan your fishing expedition to meet your needs. You can also e-mail us and we will get right back to you.

We love to talk about fishing in any form and at any time so call for more information at any time.
