More Kings on the Kasilof, More Options on the Kenai. As we move into the middle of June, fishing remains steady on the Kasilof River for king salmon as well as sockeye and a few remaining down river steelhead. Our boats have been finding reasonable success on both wild (naturally-produced) and hatchery king salmon as …
Good News and Bad News First lets talk about the good news as it has really been a very good week for our guests. King fishing on the Kasilof River remains steady with multiple opportunities for king salmon on every trip. The ratio of wild (naturally produced) vs. hatchery fish has been 3:1 in favor …
Improvement! After a relatively slow start to our king season on both the Kenai and the Kasilof, fishing has definitely picked up for us on the Kasilof River. Over the past three days very good numbers of both naturally produced and hatchery king salmon have come into the river as well as a decent number …
The 2013 fishing season is officially underway although in many respects it seems several weeks late. We experienced a very cold and reluctant spring with early and mid May temperatures still dipping well below the freezing mark in the morning and barely eclipsing 50 degrees during the day.

2008 Year in Review Now that the 2008 fishing season has come and gone, it is finally time to take a deep breath and look back on another eventful summer here on the Kenai Peninsula.
