Kenai, Kasilof, Tustumena Lake, the areas of Kenai Peninsula Borough achieved universal acclaim with Mr. Lester Anderson and his 1985 catch of a King salmon. And overnight, professional anglers, regulars and starter anglers have arranged almost regularly for fishing expeditions towards Alaskan waters to try their luck on similar prizes.

To this day, Kenai River still remains a salmon hotspot. Particularly on the western Kenai peninsula and the Tustumena Lake where swarms of salmon, Kings and Silvers often migrate to these open water sheds to spawn. Fishing is especially good on certain seasons that it’s highly improbable that anyone would return empty-handed. Knowing when the salmon runs would never hurt, especially when returning with heavier wicker basket than your peers.

Do you know when to arrange a Kenai and the Kasilof salmon fishing? Here’s the data regarding fishing success over Kenai and Kasilof areas. Study these facts before arranging your Kasilof salmon fishing.

1st run Kasilof Kings – strong during last week of May to 3rd week of June, moderate presence on early May and late June to early July

2nd run Kasilof Kings – strong on the 2nd to last week of July, moderate presence from mid-June to early July.

Kasilof Sockeyes – strong during last week of June to 3rd week of July, moderate presence on mid-June and last part on July to early August

Kasilof Silvers – strong during the 2nd week to 3rd week of August, moderate on last part of July to early August and the last week of August

Kenai is favorably known because it has the longest salmon presence than any other parts of Alaska. Here is the salmon data on Kenai River.

1st run Kenai Kings – strong during 2nd to 3rd week of June, moderate presence from 2nd week May to early parts of June

2nd run Kenai Kings – strong during 2nd to last week of July, moderate presence on early July

Kenai Sockeyes – strong during the last week of June and 3rd to last week of July, moderate presence on early June, early July and early August

As you can see, Kasilof salmon fishing is especially rewarding on June and July with heavy salmon presence, while Kenai offers a longer moderate presence of salmon. Work your fishing expeditions during peak runs but remember to book early. If you have access to this Kenai and Kasilof Salmon Fishing Chart, so would others.
