Its’ very hard to believe we are already halfway through August with less than two months left in our 2019 season. It has been a very busy season thus far with many twists and turns in our various fisheries. In our last report we were just beginning to enter the month of July and were …
Its hard to believe it is July 1 and the first third of our season is actually behind us. It has been a very positive early season on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers with lots of excellent fishing. It has also been a very good season on the salt-water with excellent halibut fishing in Cook …
There is certainly no doubt the Kenai is the world’s most famous salmon river, home to the largest kings on earth and the place of piscatorial dreams. Yet just 20 minutes down the Sterling highway is the Kasilof, a river slightly smaller than the Kenai, but equally rich in historic angling lore and yes, huge …
After 28 seasons guiding on the Kenai River, you would think the summers would blur together. Remarkably, each season has proved to be surprisingly unique and 2018 was definitely no exception. Unfortunately, the 2018 season will not be remembered for remarkable returns of either king salmon or sockeye but it will go down as one …
The last month of our annual piscatorial journey is upon us and we are putting the wraps on yet another incredible summer fishing the Kenai Peninsula and surrounding waters. Alaska has a way of managing its own time, like being put in a very special time capsule that eventually comes to an end but not …
It was definitely an August to remember here on the Kenai River as it was one of the best early runs of Kenai Silver Salmon we have seen in several years. The fish arrived early in the first week of August and just kept coming at a very steady and strong pace until late into …
It has been several weeks since I last posted and that means things have been very busy for us. It has overall been a very challenging season from a fishing perspective with less than stellar returns statewide for most species of salmon. Here on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, our June returns of king salmon …
The 2018 season is well underway and just like every season it has exhibited its own unique personality. Perhaps the most noteworthy characteristic to the season has been the lack of warm weather, especially in mid to late May with temps still dipping into the thirties overnight and struggling to break into the sixties during the …
The 2017 fishing season on the Kenai Peninsula and surrounding waters was excellent overall. It featured very few lows and countless highs and will be largely remembered as a rebound year for kings. After recent years with less than stellar king salmon returns, this past season did feature some of the best king salmon action …
Early Run Kasilof Kings! Low water and fresh fish makes for some great action. If you are looking for that first fresh salmon of the season, look no further than the Kasilof in late May and early June. After a long winter in Alaska, there is just something special about the first salmon returning to …
