Kenai River Fishing

World famous Salmon and Trout

The world famous Kenai River is unlike any other river in the world. Best known for it's gigantic King Salmon, the Kenai is so much more than that! 10 separate runs of salmon....King salmon, Silver Salmon, Sockeye (Red) Salmon and Pink Salmon all enter the river each year, meaning the Kenai has incredible variety and consistency of fishing during the course of a short Alaskan summer. Early run King salmon begin to enter the river in early May, while Sockeye begin at about the same time. As the sockeye slow down in mid June, Rainbow the Kings typically begin to peak. 2nd run Kings and Sockeye converge in July to make a tremendous fishery, and in August and September the Silver salmon and Pink salmon (pinks on even years only) is the star of the show, just about the time our trophy Rainbow Trout begin to peak.

Please note that Great Alaska Adventures release all Kenai River King salmon regardless of current regulations, to help sustain this fragile, but incredible fishery.
