Access to the Upper Kenai River is strictly regulated by special permit only. As a result, it has remained a pristine resource that supports trophy Rainbow Trout as well as quality fishing for Dolly Varden, Red and Silver Salmon. Kenai River Rainbow and Dolly Varden fishing opens June 9th and continues into October. Fishing is done from drift boats, which will transport you quietly through the emerald waters of the Upper Kenai as it drains through a mountain valley to Skilak Lake. The water typically has clarity or 1.5 ft. - 3 ft. and fly-fishing is effective. An 8-wt. Fly rod is ideal. Rainbows over 10 pounds are a real possibility though most fish will be 1 to 5 pounds. Fishing for Sockeye Salmon is good to great from June 11th until the end of July! Silvers will be available later in August through October and will often take flies.

| You will leave the lodge dock in a floatplane to fly across the Cook Inlet. Soar over rugged mountains, pass active volcanoes and peer down into spectacular mountains of blue ice. We will hopscotch across the tundra while hunting different species of fish. Land in different remote rivers and lakes to catch Alaska's famous migrating Salmon, trophy Grayling, Dolly Varden, Lake Trout, trophy Northern Pike and trophy Rainbow Trout. This is more than just a fishing or sightseeing trip, we think this is the reason most people come to Alaska. During your expedition we will fly around snow capped mountains to view Caribou and dip down in the lush valley to glimpse majestic Moose and possibly huge Grizzly Bears. Depending on the time of summer and nature's cooperation, we may stop one last time to fish for Salmon and watch the awesome Coastal Brown Bears at play. We don't want you to leave Alaska without understanding why it is named the "Great Land!"

| During the August and September time frames, we provide the opportunity for remote fly-outs to streams on the West Side of the Cook Inlet, which can only be accessed by wheeled planes. You will fly from Soldotna to the western shore of the Cook Inlet, where you can fish for Chum Salmon, Arctic Char and Silver Salmon. As always, a guide will accompany you on this trip to ensure your success. In early August, these fisheries get very little pressure when Chum Salmon and Arctic Char are returning. By mid-August, Silvers begin to overtake these streams and they become the prime targets until the runs taper off in late September. These clear water fisheries offer superior angling on a fly or spinner. This is also an excellent place to view wild coastal brown bears in their natural habitat. Our remote fly-out fishing trips will provide cherished memories that will last forever.

| We would like to introduce you to our One-on-One Super Cub Excursion; the most specialized outdoorsman’s opportunity offered in Alaska! The One-on-One Super Cub Excursion is essentially our Ultimate Expedition with the advantage of not only one-on-one attention, but total mobility and‘up to the last minute’ flexibility. It is offered in wheel or float equipped Super Cubs to provide access to just about any South Central Alaska fishing or wing shooting location. Your Pilot/Guide on this trip is president of All Alaska Outdoors, Bob Ledda, an experienced Alaskan Pilot and guide. Bob has logged over 1000 hours of bush flight in the last 5 summers searching for the greatest and most unique destinations. Bob conceived of the One on One Super Cub Excursion after years of investigating new fishing and hunting resources in his personal Super Cub. It was from realizing his own dream of accessing the Alaskan Bush in such a manner that he recognized the chance to offer that same sense of exciting freedom and vast opportunity to our guests. The experience of flying to remote places, from the seat of the‘ultimate bush plane’, is second to no other opportunity that we can offer. Bob’s first Cub has been completely restored for this activity and has all of the newest modifications. It has been outfitted with a 2000# gross weight mod extending flight range substantially and will be kept on a brand new pair of Wipline Floats. Green house glass has been installed around the entire passenger compartment to maximize flight-seeing pleasure. We have 2 other well-maintained Super Cubs on wheels for those activities requiring ground landings. The activities available on floats include all of the Ultimate Expedition venues for fishing or Ptarmigan hunting. Very special destinations for Rainbow Trout (late June, July and September) and King salmon (June) Fly-fishing are available. Float tubes, fly-rods, spinning tackle and all other equipment is included. Imagine a day of hop-scotching from lake to lake on the Kenai Peninsula fishing for Rainbows, Dollies and Grayling while viewing Mountains, Glaciers, Dall sheep, Mountain goat, Black bear and Trophy Moose in route. Or perhaps you would rather fly through the famed Lake Clark Pass to the Bristol Bay Drainage to sample its prolific Ptarmigan hunting or wide variety of available fisheries. Using Super Cubs for wheel access to any of our Wheeled Plane Fly-out destinations allows you to experience any or all of these wonderful resources on the same day. Chum and Silver Salmon and Sea-run Dolly fishing in August and September is incredible. There is no better way to access these fisheries. Additionally, we can dig Steamer or Razor clams when tides are appropriate. We use wheeled Cubs to access our favorite Duck hunting spots across Cook Inlet or in Kachemak Bay. The One-on-One Super Cub Excursion is a trip that warrants serious consideration. Parties of one or two can be accommodated on wheels. We currently only have one Super Cub on floats available for this trip but we can do a shuttle trip to certain special destinations for two persons.

| All Alaska Outdoors Basic River Trips can often be utilized for successful Flyfishing. August fishing for Silver Salmon with flies can be excellent. In September we continue to target Silvers with flies and begin catching trophy Rainbows and Dollies on flesh fly and salmon egg patterns. |

| All Alaska Outdoors' Basic Package includes the rare experience of flying in a float equipped Turbine Otter from our lodge dock into the remote wilderness of South Central Alaska to fish. Trips taken in May and early June will be for Northern Pike. The lake system we target has fast action for fish in the 1-5 pound range. Specimens up to 25 pounds have been landed. The plane and guide will stay with you for the day and if you like, we can stop in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to fish for Rainbow Trout. On about June10th, our attention turns to Wolverine Creek and feisty Sockeye Salmon. You will be dropped off, with your guide, to fish from our boats at Wolverine Creek. This tiny, clear stream gets an average annual Sockeye return of 70-90 thousand fish, which makes for steady action and fantastic bear viewing. Coastal brown bear (some with cubs) can be seen safely at close distances and the mountain scenery is breathtaking. This fishery continues until late July when we start to see the return of Silver Salmon to this fishery and the Kustatan River. Once again, you will be taken by boat to the fishing grounds where you will experience Silver Salmon on light tackle. If you prefer to fly-fish then bring your 7-8 wt. fly rod along and you will likely experience an excellent day of sight fishing to large Silvers. |
| $285 p/p* Wolverine Creek or Kustatan Fly-out |
All Alaska Outdoors strength lies in its versatility and flexibility in arranging outdoor activities. As a starting point, we offer a basic package, which is anything but basic. This package includes 3 river trips for salmon or trout, 1 deep-sea salt-water trip and 1 fly-out fishing trip. The flavor of the trips will vary depending on the season and what salmon species is 'running' at the time - this maximizes your success!

| River fishing trips are taken on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. The Kenai River is fished from custom Willie Predator powerboats while the Kasilof is fished from Fish-rite drift boats. All tackle provided is top of the line G-Loomis rods with high quality Shimano Calcutta or Stradic reels. The Kasilof River provides steady action for King Salmon from mid May through June 20th. Most fish range from 15-25 pounds. During this time of year, All Alaska Outdoors' guides enjoy fishing on this river because of the nearly 100% success rate we can achieve for our guests. The Kenai River offers fishing for King Salmon during the same time frame and fish will generally run between 20-40 pounds. However, in May and June this fishery is very dependent on water depth and clarity, as we are often not permitted to use bait. Additionally, the Kenai is managed as a "catch and release" fishery in May/June with no retention of fish between 44 and 55 inches allowed. On June 15th, trout fishing opens up on the Kenai and our guides have great success on light tackle for large Rainbows. Fish from 10 to 20 pounds are caught and released every week. These fish can occasionally be taken on flies. July is when we focus our efforts on the Kenai’s giant King Salmon. Fish range from 40-60 pounds with occasional specimens in the 70's, 80's and once in a while even in the 90's! The Kenai escapement in July is usually 35-50 thousand strong and the angler's success rate is usually better than 50%. Bait opens on July 1st and the largest fish often return during the first week with the run peaking around the middle of the month. Fishing generally remains good until the season closes on July 31st. July and early August offer the additional opportunity to fish for Sockeye Salmon on the Kenai River. The fishing is fast and furious by mid July for these feisty 8-12 pound ocean fresh fish. There is normally a three fish daily limit, but when escapements are high the limit often increases to six fish. In August we shift gears for Silver Salmon. Both the Kenai and Kasilof rivers have good fisheries and typically our guests catch their two fish limit each day. Silver Salmon (also known as Coho) are a hard-fighting acrobatic fish that are great fun on the light tackle provided. Silvers remain in these rivers and are prime targets in September when the Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden fishery below Skilak Lake really begins to take off. Fast action is the rule with Dollies ranging from 2-8 pounds and Trout weighing 10 pounds are caught regularly. Fishing is done with trolling plugs, or drifting Salmon egg, or flesh fly patterns. So, both spinning and fly-anglers can enjoy this resource! |
