Rainbow Trout Fishing in Alaska 2025

Alaska is rich not only in salmon. Catch a trophy-sized trout in the rapid rivers!

Best time: June–September

Rainbow Trout

​Despite the explosive popularity of salmon fishing in Alaska, there is another activity that attracts thousands of experienced fishermen from the United States and Canada. Enormous rainbow trout—this is the reason. Five kilograms is an average weight for it, and those who put more effort may even catch a 10-kilogram fish. The best place for fishing is the Kenai River; it is one of the few rivers in the world with a vast population of wild rainbow trout.​ Go there during the high season from June until September and catch the biggest fish you can!
