Salmon Trips
Salmon seasons on the Kenai River and Kasilof River
King (Chinook)
Kenai and Kasilof King Salmon are the largest of the Pacific Salmon and the most sought after. The Kenai River has some of the largest Kings in the world. They can weigh anywhere between 15 - 90 pounds. The Kasilof King Salmon tend to be smaller but more aplenty and usually easier to catch.
Method: King fishing is done by back trolling from the boat using bait casters.
Red (Sockeye)
Red Salmon are our favorite to eat and are the most plentiful in the Kenai River. They range from 4 -15 pounds. During July and August there can be over 1 million Reds in the Kenai River system. When it's on, it's really on!
Method: Sockeye fishing is primarily done from shore using fly rods or spinning gear.
Silver (Coho)
Fishing for Silver Salmon is thrilling and anglers enjoy their aggressive fight. Silver tend to weigh 8 - 12 pounds.
Method: Silvers are caught by back trolling, spin fishing and fly fishing.
