With the 2016 season officially behind us, it’s time to take a look back on yet another epic summer of Alaska Fishing. Without a doubt the most memorable aspect of this past season was the stronger king salmon returns. After three relatively dismal seasons and numerous restrictions, the more “normal” numbers of king salmon were …
With the fall leaves in full display, it is definitely September here on the Kenai River. The transition from August to September came very fast and we spent the majority of latter August fishing below Skilak Lake for both silvers and for trout. Getting to witness the vast sockeye spawn as well as a good …
The end of August is now in sight and we are entering the final phase of our 2016 fishing season. The early run of silver salmon on the Kenai has mirrored many of the August silver fisheries statewide with relatively modest returns.

June is quickly coming to a close and that means July is just around the corner. Before we transition to this next phase of the season, let’s take a look back on the past couple of weeks and one of the best early runs of king salmon we have seen in several years. The Kasilof …
One word can be used to best describe the early 2016 season we have experienced thus far: Normal! After consecutive years of poor king salmon returns and accompanying restrictions, this year looks very positive. We have seen exceptional numbers of king salmon on both the Kasilof and yes the Kenai River as well. The Kenai …
The 2016 fishing season here on the Kenai Peninsula is officially underway and we are off to an excellent start. An early spring and warm temps have the rivers up and in great shape.
