Kenai River, Kasilof Rivers
Alaska King Salmon Fishing
Kenai River is world known for its giant King Salmon. In May, June and July the King Salmon are running up the Kenai River. The world record was caught here. During July you can also catch those fast and furious Red Salmon (Sockeye Salmon) on their way to their spawning grounds. In August and September it is time for the Silvers to arrive. This time of year the tourism traffic slows down but the fishing is still great! On the Kenai River we offer both 1/2 day and full day fishing charters in May and June. In July the trips are only 1/2 days and in August there is only full day trips offered. These differences are due to the way the salmon enter the river and they allow for the best opportunity to catch your favorite salmon. The Kasilof River is a drift only river hosting King salmon in May and June.

Kasilof River Salmon Charters are for full days to allow for plenty of time to enjoy the peace and quiet that comes from drift boat fishing. This is a beautiful trip that everyone should do at least once. Drifting gives you the opportunity to see our wonderful Alaskan outdoors without the combat fishing that comes with the other more famous rivers.
