When to Come Fishing

SALMON FISHING

All salmon species have different and specific sport fishing regulations on different river systems and different sections of water which vary throughout the season, as well as day of the week.

King Salmon

KING or Chinook Salmon make early and late runs into both the Kenai and Kasilof River systems.

SOCKEYE Salmon

SOCKEYE or Red Salmon are the most populous. They make an early season run in mid to late June in the Russian and Kasilof River’s then a late run starting mid July into the Kenai River.

Silver Salmon

SILVER or Coho Salmon run later in the season starting around early August and continuing into the Fall. With the peak run times being mid August through mid to late September.

Pink Salmon

PINK or Humpy Salmon will only run every even year. These fish flood the system and can make for sore arms in a hurry!

AND DON'T FORGET THE TROUT...


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!?
