Rainbow Trout Fishing

Most of the time when we are targeting the huge Rainbows on the mid-river of the Kenai they are on what’s called an “egg bite”. As the Salmon return home every summer to spawn the Trout gorge themselves on the Salmon eggs. We use different sized and shaded beads to mimic the current Salmon eggs in play. We use fly rods with strike indicators most of the time but if the weather isn’t cooperating we will drag the beads with our spinner rods. Don’t worry about having any experience with a fly rod or fishing for that matter. We take novices all the time and get them on fish.
