Weather Info
The Alaskan weather can change instantly. Be prepared at all time by dressing in layers. This will allow you to shed layers on the sunny days and add a few on the cold ones.
See our temperature chart below for more detailed information.

Regulations
Before fishing any body of water make sure you have read and understand the fishing regulations for the area you are fishing. It is also a good idea to find out if there are any "Emergency Orders" for the area as well. This can save you a major headache!!!

Planning Your Trip
 
When is the best time to come fishing in Alaska?

Picking the perfect date is nearly impossible for the life-long Alaskan fisherman, much less for the person planning their once in lifetime fishing trip! I will attempt to pass on to you the information that I have compiled over a lifetime of fishing the Kenai Peninsula and hopefully it will help you in picking your dates.
