Ironclad Steelhead Insurance
The ultimate fishing-travel safety net. When other destinations blow out in heavy rain, our main river keeps fishing.
We at Alaska Steelhead Co. like to say that our fall steelhead trip on the Kenai Peninsula has the ultimate fishing-travel insurance — our “Ironclad Steelhead Insurance.”
When traveling to fish for steelhead, the biggest fear among anglers young and old is the tragic, heavy rain that results in unfishable, blown-out rivers. It's devastating, and most steelhead destinations have no other options for their guests.
While no outfitter can control the fishing, let alone Mother Nature, we're the only steelhead outfitter we know of that can prevent this from happening to our guests. The most common river we fish cannot blow out.
The river is vastly fed by snow and ice from an icefield and lake, with little to no tributaries along its short path to Cook Inlet. Because of its geographical nature, heavy rain has extremely mild effects on this already-shallow river — giving way to exceptional steelhead fishing no matter how bad Mother Nature wants to punish us.
This is an anomaly in the steelhead world that we're proud to offer to our guests. We call it Alaska Steelhead Co.'s “Ironclad Steelhead Insurance.”
