Here at TROUTCASTS we like to focus on Kenai River Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden. With such a famous river like the Kenai, and the most popular sport fishing destination in Alaska for salmon fishing, one may ask, “Why fish for trout on such a prolific salmon fishery?” For that exact reason is why we fish for trout, simply put, lots of salmon equals healthy and abundant trout populations. The reas
on for this is once the salmon start running up the Kenai, swarms of eager salmon fisherman flock to the river by the thousands in an attempt to get in on the slammin salmon mayhem. As trout fisherman we love this, thousands of fisherman cleaning their salmon in the river provides the trout population a healthy dose of their own salmon meat and caviar. As fisherman chuck thousands of salmon carcasses and egg sacks back into the river, the trout begin a 4 month long smorgasbord of gorging themselves into periodic gluts. As trout enthusiasts, we imitate the chunks of salmon meat and eggs in the water in our pursuit of the most beautiful fish Alaska has to offer. So while everyone else is partaking in the salmon madness, we are the outcasts, or “TROUTCASTS” if you will, that will be targeting big Alaskan Rainbow Trout on one of the most diverse and copious fisheries in the World!
