Kenai River
The Kenai River is located 145
miles south of anchorage on the Kenai Peninsula. The Kenai River is home
to the largest kings in the world. The world record king was caught on
the Kenai weighing just over 97 pounds. The first run of king salmon
starts running in early may and carries on into June. On July 1st bait opens and the second run of kings are
running strong throughout the rest of July. There are many big kings taken
every year ranging from 40 pounds on up to 80 pounds. These fish put up a
great fight when just entering the fresh water of the Kenai.
Sockeye
Salmon
The Kenai River gets two enormous runs of sockeye salmon. The first
run enters the river in early June and is fished on the Kenai River and
also the Russian river. The second run of sockeye enters the river in
mid July. The second run is a bigger run with salmon coming up the river
in schools of 70,000 to 100,000 a day. Sockeye are fished for from the
bank in any decent moving water. You are allowed to keep 3 to 6 fish a
depending on numbers of fish in the river. Sockeye fishing can be a lot
of fun and easy for everyone when good numbers of fish enter the river.
Silver Salmon
The silver salmon fishing begins in August and continues throughout
the end of September. Silver fishing can be fast and furious with large
numbers and aggressive silvers entering the river. On a good morning
limits of silvers can be caught in no time at all. With the silver
salmon spending most of its fight on top of the water it is a fantastic
fish to fight.
Kasilof
River
Fishing the first run of kings on the Kasilof River can be very productive
with bait opening May 16. The fishing on the Kasilof continues to improve
until it reaches its peak in early June. However the size of the fish on the
Kasilof is smaller than the Kenai. With the Kasilof River being done by
drift boat it is a nice peaceful trip without the numbers of people you have
on the Kenai.
