wise angler: Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen
and your Polaroid sunglasses.
Q:
What clothing is appropriate?
A: Dress casual. Strongly recommend dressing
in layers for outdoor activities, especially
fishing. Bring warm under garments, jeans or
similar, sweaters, windbreakers, head covering,
several pairs of warm socks, waterproof footwear
and rain gear. The weather on or around water can
change in a heartbeat.

Q:
How big are the fish?
A: Alaska's fish are renowned for their size
and fighting ability. Kenai King Salmon can run
between 25 and 90 pounds. Red Salmon average 4 to 8
pounds. Alaska's acrobats, Silver Salmon, range
between 6 to 20 pounds. Halibut can range from 25
up to 300 pounds or more. When you take a Limits
"R" Us charter, the boat, fishing tackle, and
fishing techniques are all "customized" to ensure
you are properly trained, instructed, and equipped
to fight and land the fish of your
dreams.
Q:
How do I get my fish home?
A: The Limits "R" Us staff can help arrange
fish processing with some of the best processors in
the Kenai area. You can transport your catch via
UPS or as checked luggage in a freezer box or ice
chest.
Q:
Can I catch and release fish?
A: If your guide determines a fish is
injured, we discourage catch and release.
Otherwise, Limits "R" Us respects catch and release
practices to conserve Alaska's natural sport
fishing resources, especially some native
species.
Q:
What is the "Release a Hog - Take Home a Trophy"
program?
A: It is a program designed to encourage the
release of giant King Salmon which the Kenai River
is famous for. The Kenai River Sport fishing
Association (KRSA) will award a fiberglass trophy
mount to anglers who land and release fish
measuring 48 inches or more. Kenai River King
Salmon are world-famous for their size and fighting
ability, with 80 and 90 pounders reported each
season. Anglers can experience the thrill of
catching a "lunker Kenai King," let that trophy go
to spawn and still hang their bragging rights on
the wall.
Q:
How do I get from Anchorage to Soldotna?
A: Daily flights are available every hour
from Anchorage to Kenai. At the airport you can
rent a car and drive less than 10 miles to
Soldotna. If your schedule permits, we recommend
renting a car in Anchorage and driving the Seward
Highway, a beautiful 160-mile drive to Soldotna.
During this 3-hour drive you will view long
stretches of Cook Inlet, spectacular scenery and
wildlife habitat, rivers, numerous glaciers and
much of the Chugach Mountain Range. You will also
have opportunities to see mountain goats and sheep,
moose, soaring eagles, a variety of other birds,
whales, and sometimes black or brown bear along the
route.
