Fishing isn’t just about the catch—it’s about the thrill, the peace, and the memories made along the way. And here at Kenai River Suites, we’re seeing more and more women discover the magic of casting a line in Alaska’s legendary waters. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to the sport, our lodge offers the perfect place for women to experience the excitement of fishing in a supportive and welcoming environment.

There’s a common misconception that fishing is a “man’s sport.” The truth? Fishing welcomes everyone.
For women, fishing can be:
A stress reliever: Time on the water is meditative and calming.
A nature connection: The Kenai River’s beauty is unmatched, with eagles overhead and crystal-clear water beneath your boat.
A rush of excitement: The moment a fish bites, adrenaline takes over—and it’s pure magic.
At Kenai River Suites, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive space where every guest, regardless of experience, feels confident stepping into the adventure whether on our property or with a charter we help setup.
Tips from Female Anglers
Our female guests have shared some great advice for women looking to try fishing for the first time:
Choose gear that fits you. Many fishing outfits are now designed specifically for women—comfort matters!
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The guides at Kenai River Suites love teaching beginners.
Layer up. Alaska weather can change quickly—bring breathable, waterproof clothing.
Enjoy the moment. Sometimes it’s not about the size of the fish, but the beauty of the surroundings.
