Fishing The Kenai River In October
What species can I fish for during October on the Kenai River?
Rainbow Trout fishing on the Kenai River in October
As long as you can handle the cold, fishing for trout stays consistently good. As the water drops we utilize both single hand and two handed fly rods. There are still a lot of eggs and flesh in the water, so expect to push a few indicators and floats down the river. Many of the largest fish of the year are caught during these months. If you are looking to find your trophy, this is your time. Just make sure to bring warm clothes and a strong will.
Silver Salmon fishing in October
October is the last month that anglers can keep silver salmon. Fishing typically remains great through October. The water levels fall, concentrating the salmon into more easily targeted areas. Plan to be actively casting for these hard fighting fish.
Steelhead fishing in October
Steelhead fishing remains good all the way until the rivers ice over. Typically we will chase steelhead until the end of October, when the weather just becomes too unreliable. Keep in mind that the smaller rivers of the Kenai Peninsula are still at the whim of the weather. Storms and rain do push through, which can dirty up the river for a few days. Fortunately, there are multiple options on the Kenai Peninsula for an angler to fall back on in October.
What is the weather like in October?
The weather in October on the Kenai river can be all over the board. There are nice days mixed in with the bitter cold ones. It really just depends on the year. Anglers are urged to bring warm gear, gloves, hats, etc.. The morning commutes can be quite chilly. Fortunately the fishing can be hot.
