Kasilof River King Salmon Fishing

The Kasilof River is home to one of the most productive King Salmon runs in Alaska.  It is a drift boat only fishery making it a very peaceful fishing trip.  We use 20 ft. Willie Drift Boats that can hold 4 fishermen.  All bait and tackle are provided.  The Early Run (May-June)  is a hatchery based fishery and the King Salmon average 15-20 lbs.  The Early Run can produce some fast paced fishing due to the strength of this run.  The Late Run (July) is purely a native fishery and King Salmon are regularly caught weighing over 50lbs.

Our Charters on the Kasilof River are full day (8-10 hours) fishing trips.  Our Primary methods of fishing are backtrolling and backbouncing plugs and eggs.  The Early Run has regulations in place that prohibit retention of King Salmon that have an adipose fin on Mon,Wed,Fri,Sun.  All other days, one King Salmon with an adipose fin may be kept.  The daily limit on this River during the Early Run is 1 per day, which has to have a clipped adipose fin.  The Late Run limit is 1 per day with no clip fin regulation.
