Upper, Middle and Lower Sections of Kenai and Kasilof Rivers.
Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Steelhead, Red Salmon, Silver Salmon, Pink Salmon and King Salmon.
KING or Chinook Salmon make early and late runs into both the Kenai and Kasilof River systems.
SOCKEYE or Red Salmon are the most populous. They make an early season run in mid to late June in the Russian and Kasilof Rivers, then a late run starting mid July into the Kenai River.
SILVER or Coho Salmon run later in the season starting around early August and continuing into the Fall. Peak run times are mid August through mid to late September.
With the vast quantities of salmon that enter the Kenai River each and every year, there is a never-ending supply of food for the Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden. For anglers dreaming of catching a 30”+ trout, the Kenai is the place to visit and fish, especially in the Fall season when the trout have been feasting all season long. The Kenai River is one of the few watersheds in the world where 30” rainbow trout can be found regularly and are hooked into!
