King Salmon Fishing on the Kenai & Kasilof Rivers

Fishing for King Salmon on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers could best be described as awesome.  These rivers provide the best of both worlds: Trophy King Salmon with unusually productive fishing.  We offer the finest in drift and power boat charters on this majestic river.  Whatever your preference we can arrange it.

 
Kenai River

The Kenai River is famous for producing the biggest King Salmon in the world.  This river currently holds the world record for King Salmon (97lbs 4oz) and every year produces fish over 80 lbs.  If you are looking for world-class trophy salmon fishing this is it.  Having two runs of salmon, our season begins June 1 and usually ends July 31st. The first run begins the last two weeks of May and winds down towards the end of June.    The fishing then is usually less crowded and can be very productive.  On average these fish are smaller than the second run with the average fish weighing in at 35lbs with some 50 and 60 pounders being caught.

The second run King Salmon are what the trophy hunters are after.  This run takes place throughout the month of July.  The average weight of these goliaths is 45lbs.  This is when the majority of the true Alaskan monsters are caught.

Kasilof River

Fishing on the Kenai and Kasilof RiversThe Kasilof River is one of the most underrated rivers for king salmon and we want  it to stay that way.  In late May and early June this river is best described as "smokin".  During this time of  year the fish  are confined and holding in a small stretch of water which allows for phenomenal catches.  The only detriment to these fish is that they are smaller in size compared to the Kenai.

In July the Kasilof River takes a complete transformation in water level.  Along with this change come the Kasilof's native run of King Salmon.  Pound for pound these fish have to be one of the hardest fighting strains of King Salmon around.  The average weight of these fish is 30lbs with a few 50 pounders being caught every year.
  One of the greatest advantages of fishing the Kasilof River is that there are virtually no powerboats and there is less development.  This increases the chance for you to see local wildlife such as Eagles, Beavers and Moose.  For those wanting a more pristine trip with very productive fishing this is it.
