Important Trip
Planning Information -
Soldotna is
a small fishing community but offers everything you need.
Soldotna is located in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula and
offers fine shops, large grocery stores, excellent restaurants
and gift shops all with reasonable prices. Because we do not
serve lunch and dinner meals many of our guests will go into
Soldotna for groceries for packing lunches and then into
Soldotna each evening for a nice sit down meal. You do not
need to leave the resort, as many do all their cooking in
their cabins and relax by the fire and enjoy the great river
views. Rental cars are a must, as you will need then for
shopping, sightseeing and meeting the boats in different
areas.

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
[FAQ's]
How do I get to Kenai Riverbend Resort?
All of our clients fly into
Anchorage Alaska. From Anchorage they rent a vehicle and make
the 3-hour drive to Soldotna. The drive is very beautiful and
full of scenery. It is also a very easy drive. Some of our
clients prefer to fly into Kenai and then rent a vehicle in
Kenai. The Kenai airport is just minutes from the resort.
Ask about special airfares and rental car rents when you call,
we work out some great rates for our clients!
Since you only serve a continental breakfast
what do I do for Lunch and Dinner?
All cabins have cooking facilities
and barbeque grills. Many of our clients eat breakfast at the
lodge, pack a snack for lunch and then go into either Soldotna
or Kenai for a nice sit down meal. Both Soldotna and Kenai
have 24-hour grocery stores like KMART, Fred Meyer and
Safeway. Restaurants are everywhere and very inexpensive, our
local diner serves meals for an average of $8.00 per plate.
Prices are very reasonable!
What is the summer weather like?
Our summers are beautiful, our
typical day begins with morning temperatures in the 40s and
daytime highs get up to high 70s. Rain and clouds are
possible at anytime but usually do no last long. We do not
have many bugs!
How much daylight do we have in the summer?
From May to the end of August we
have an average of 19 hours a day of sunlight. Rising at 4:00
am and setting at 11:00 pm. Plenty of time and daylight to do
all the things you want while on your fishing vacation!
How much are Alaska Fishing Licenses?
The lodge sells fishing licenses so
do not worry. License fees for non-residents are 1-day -
$10.00, 3-day - $15.00, 7-day - $30.00, and 14-day - $50.00.
If you are fishing for King Salmon you also need a King Salmon
Stamp, which are sold in the same increments and prices as the
licenses. For example a 7-day fishing license with a 7-day
King Stamp will cost you $60.00. This license covers you for
all types of fishing (fresh and salt).
What is provided on Fishing Charters?
Kenai Riverbend Resort provides all
of our guided clients with boats, G-Loomis Rods,
Shimano-Penn-Okuma Reels, baits, instruction, and the best
guides in Alaska. Everything is provided just bring yourself!
How big are the boats and how many fish per
boat?
Our Kenai River boats are 20 Willie
Predator riverboats with 4- stroke Honda outboards. They fish
4 anglers and all boats have deluxe seats with backs and arm
rests. Our Offshore-Saltwater boats are 28 Madeira Offshore
Cruisers. They come equipped with state of the are
electronics, twin 130HP Honda outboards, marine bathroom,
heated cabins and a huge deck for our 6 anglers aboard along
with the captain and deckhand.
How long are the
Trips?
Most of our trips are 6 hours.
Typical river trip starts at 5:30am and goes till 11:30 am
with a second trip from 12:00 noon till 6:00 pm. Saltwater
trips start at all times of the day due to tidal movements
therefore some trips may start at 5:00 am or 2:00 pm it all
depends on the tide for that day. All-day fishing trips are
10 hours.
How big are the fish?
Alaska is known for our gigantic
fish. Expect King Salmon from 25-80 pounds, Silver Salmon
from 8-20 pounds, Sockeye Salmon from 6-15 pounds, and Pink
Salmon from 4-12 pounds. Our Pacific Halibut average 25-50
pounds with many over 100 and some into the 200-pound class.
Ling Cod to 60 pounds and many 5-10 pound rockfish. Our
expert guides will instruct each client with all the
techniques and secrets of getting these huge fish in.
How do I get my fish home?
Most packages include one box (60
pounds +/-) of processing. We fillet, vacuum pack, freeze and
box your catch for the trip home. Extra boxes are $65.00.
Most of our clients take their fish back as checked baggage on
the airlines. Your fish will stay frozen in our boxes for up
to 24 hours. Remember to pack light, to take fish back home
with you and cut freight costs. We can also ship Fed Ex if
you prefer.
What clothes should I bring?
Pack Light! Dress is very informal in Alaska.
You could wear the same jeans and shirt for a week and nobody
would look at you differently. We recommend jeans,
sweatshirts, tennis shoes and knee-high boots and rain gear.
Dressing in layers is the way to go and remember you can
always take clothes off
