For vacationing anglers who have put together their own itinerary and are constantly on the move, Tower Rock Lodge can accommodate your tight schedule with a single-day fishing trip, saltwater charter or same day flyout.
Saltwater charters for Cook Inlet halibut are continuous from May through September. Seasonally there are opportunities to offer combo halibut/salmon trips from the beaches at Deep Creek. Your trip could start with trolling for chinook migrating through the area and end up fishing for halibut the remainder of the day. Contact us for the details.There are also opportunities for halibut trips out of Homer as well as halibut and rockfish trips out of Seward. During August and September there is plenty of red hot saltwater silver salmon fishing available out of Seward.
Salmon charters can provide fishing in either the Kenai River or the Kasilof River. Kings, silvers, and sockeye are all available in these streams at specific times of the season. Each stream has an optimum time when these fish are most available so please refer to our When To Fish section to learn what will be available during your visit.
Trout fishing on the Kenai River is nothing short of remarkable. The lower Kenai River trout season can begin as early as May for resident Dolly Varden while the upper Kenai River kicks into gear in mid-June when the season opens and both provide continuous fishing possibilities through the end of September. We fish the upper Kenai River with drift boats in the non-motorized section and the lower Kenai River with power boats or drift boats depending on the time of year and access. The USFWS has estimated the upper Kenai rainbow population as high as 2000 trout per mile.
Flyout fishing can only be described as a "world of its own." Literally every sport fish found in the state can be accessed by floatplane in 30 mins. to 2 hours from the Kenai area. Our day trip flyouts are for sockeye from early June to late July where brown bears will be fishing next to you. Our most popular late summer day trip flyout is for fresh ocean-bright silvers entering a coastal stream beginning in late July to the end of August. Price quoted is an estimate and will vary depending on the fishery you want to book and your group size.
Since our salmon runs have specific periods when they are available as well as when they are most abundant, we suggest that you review our When To Fish section that discusses each of the species, their runs and location. This will provide you the "insider information" necessary to pick the perfect time to visit and fish the Kenai Peninsula.
Approximate length of fishing charters will vary: Salmon-Trout 1/2 day 6 hours / Salmon-Trout full day 10-12 hours / Halibut 10 hours / Fly-out 8 hours / Trout 8 hours.
