Alaska's King Salmon Runs: A Guide to Fishing the Kenai and Kasilof
If you are planning to board on a ravishing Alaska fishing trip, then you have a great chance to plan a salmon fishing trip. Two runs of wild Kenai River king salmon combine to support the largest recreational fishery for this species in Alaska. The first run of Alaskan king salmon enters the river from mid-May through June.  
 
The Alaska fishing charters can help you in planning your Salmon fishing excursion tour with the salmon run in Alaska starting from 1st July to 31st July.  The early Kenai River run of Alaska king salmon fishing starting in May averages about 10,000 fish, and the late run that begins on July 1 averages about 30,000 fish.
 
The early run of king salmon on the Kasilof River is largely of hatchery origin. Therefore, it is not subject to the extreme restrictions and closures that many wild king salmon fisheries are currently facing. The Kasilof has remained open in May and June in recent years, and with consistent regulations.
 
The limit is two hatchery kings per day, per person
  • The use of bait has been allowed
  • Anglers are allowed to continue fishing after retaining their two-fish limit
  • All wild Kasilof Kings must be released unharmed and may not be removed from the water
