Spring Fishing Advantage (May–June)
One of this property’s biggest advantages is spring rainbow trout fishing when the upper Kenai River is closed. From May 1 through early June, anglers can target spring rainbows in the slough and nearby waters while others wait for the opener. Come June, water levels rise and access improves—making this an ideal early-season destination.
Fall Trophy Season (Aug–Oct)
Fall is prime time. Kenai rainbow trout reach legendary sizes as salmon spawn, with aggressive feeding and fewer crowds. September offers the best combination of trophy trout, silver salmon, and stunning fall colors. October is ideal for experienced anglers targeting large fish near Skilak Lake.
Hunting Basecamp & “Cast & Blast”
This cabin also functions as a strategic hunting basecamp during fall seasons. Guests can combine morning fishing with afternoon waterfowl hunting—a true Cast & Blast experience. Moose, ducks, geese, and small game opportunities exist nearby (all guests must follow ADF&G regulations).
Easy Access & DIY-Friendly
- Private dock on the Kenai River slough—fish right from the property
- Boat launch is minutes away on Fisherman’s Road
Dot’s Landing (Sterling) is directly across the river—ideal for guests coming from Anchorage
- Drift trips from Lower Skilak can end at the cabin
- Kayaks and pack rafts welcome
This property is best suited for self-guided anglers and outdoorsmen who value flexibility, access, and independence.
