Here at A Wandering Moose we will help you with arranging all your fishing excursions with the best guides the Kenai Peninsula has to offer. When fishing with guides on the Kenai Peninsula they provide your fishing tackle. We have loaner rods during your stay if needed.* We recommend you bring waist or chest waders, quality rain gear and warm clothing for layering. During our summer, Alaskan temperatures can reach 80 degrees but when it rains, one might feel uncomfortable unless properly dressed. We provide a fish cleaning area and freezer space to store your catch until you depart. There are charcoal grills at each cabin and one community gas grill at the cabin fire pit..... should you have the urge to "cook up" your catch.
*$100 replacement fee for broken or lost rods

IMPORTANT TRIP PLANNING INFORMATION Soldotna is a small community but offers everything you need. It is located in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula and offers fine shops, large grocery stores, pharmacies, excellent restaurants and gift shops all with reasonable prices. Because we do not serve meals many of our guests will go into town for groceries for breakfast and packing lunches and then into Soldotna each evening for a nice dinner. However, you don’t need to leave the resort.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 them for shopping, sightseeing and meeting the boats in different areas.
