The Kasilof River is located approximately 15 minutes south
of Soldotna. The Kasilof is a drift boat only river, which
means no outboard motors are allowed. This creates a
peaceful trip with no noise and all the boats going in one
direction, down river. We target kings, reds, silvers and
steelhead salmon on this river. While on the trip have your
camera ready because you are likely to see wildlife such as
moose, bears, bald eagles and other birds and animals.
|
The Kasilof River experiences three major runs
of salmon
during the Alaska fishing season:
First Run King Salmon (Middle May to Late June) You can
expect these Kings to average between 15 and 25 pounds.
These salmon are primarily return hatchery fish with only
few being native (native kings must be released).
Second Run King Salmon (Late June
to July 31st) These trophy-class King Salmon will average 35
to 50 pounds or bigger! After July 1st you can keep native
kings and native kings tend to be big fish.
|
First Run Silver Salmon
(August 1st to September 31st) this is a fairly long run of
salmon, running all the way through October. Kasilof silver
salmon average 7 to 12 pounds, but it is not uncommon to
catch an 18 pounder. We target steelhead on the upper river
from September through October.
