The first run of King Salmon begins in early May and makes it’s way up the Cook Inlet and then onto the rivers. We start our King season by trolling in the Cook Inlet as part of a Salmon/Halibut combo charter. By mid May the Kings have been steadily making their way up the Kenai and Kasilof River. At which point we have the opportunity to fish for them in both the Cook Inlet as well as the river. Usually by June 5th our King focus moves to the rivers alone.                                                                                                                                                                     

 Both the Kenai and Kasilof River have two runs of Kings. The first run on the Kenai generally has smaller numbers however by no means smaller fish; seeing as the world record was caught on May 15, 1985 weighing in at a whopping 97.4 pounds, an absolute trophy and is still trying to matched to this day. With these smaller numbers we often have a slot limit on the Kenai, for the month of June, and the use of no bait. These regulations do change from year to year based on early season escapement, but don’t worry there are still plenty of Kings being caught.  By July 1st the slot limit on the Kings is lifted and is the first day of bait opener; that is unless the regulations were changed in June by the Department of Fish & Wildlife that allowed us the use of bait sooner. The second run of Kings typical overlaps with the first run and we fish for Kings until the season closes on July 31st.                                                                       

The Kasilof River’s first and second run of Kings are a great fishery for experts and kids alike. We fish the Kasilof for Kings from the season opener, on May 15th, until the season closes, on July 31st.  These Kings are generally smaller, the 10-25 pound class, but have also been known to be caught in the 30-40 pound class. This fishery has great action, with several hook-ups a day not uncommon. The Kasilof is one of our personal favorites to fish in the early season; crowds are smaller and hook-ups abundant.                                                                                         

 Sockeye’s are considered the best eating salmon and are a great fish box filler. We fish for Sockeye’s on the Kasilof and Kenai River and offer fly-out fishing/sight seeing tours for Sockeye’s as well. The first run of Sockeye’s begins in early June with a second run about mid July and continues on into August. These fish typical range between 5-12 pounds and you’re allowed 3 per person per day. It’s a great bonus fish and many avid fishermen enjoy spending their spare time trying to catch these guys from the shoreline.                                                       

 Silvers start making there way up the Inlet and into the rivers in late July and continue through the month of September. Personally this is our favorite fishery; it’s a relaxed time of year and produces good numbers of fish by the first week of August. These fish generally weigh between 6 to 20 pounds and are a great fish for kids. The fishing can be fast and furious with lots of hook ups and tunes of fun.                        

 Pacific Halibut are plentiful throughout Alaska, the majority of the fish move into shallow water during the summer for feeding. This gives us the chance to fish for them all summer long. We start running trips in May and continue through September. The fish vary, with a wide variety of sizes, small fish in the 10 pound class all the way up to the monster Barn Door Halibut weighing up to as much as 400 pounds. At times it can be the hardest work, you'll ever pay to do, but we believe that Halibut is the finest eating sport fish out there.                   

Rainbows and Dolley Varden are abundant in both the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. We generally fish for these guys in the upper stretches of both rivers. We usually side drift, with light tackle and use prawns or imitation eggs. We have a lot of fun hooking into these guys, their average weight is 5-10 pounds but it’s not uncommon to hook into a 15 pounder.                     

Razor Clams are a big hit for some, but we are limited to when we can try and snatch these guys. Razors live in the flats in the Cook Inlet and can only be dug on a minus tide. These guys are an experience all in their own. You’ve got to want to get down and dirty. Razor limits are 60 per person per day.                                                                                                                                        

Fly-outs are another great attraction available in our area. Fly-outs offer fishing and sight seeing. Depending upon the time of year, we fishing for Kings, Sockeye or Silver Salmon and most offer the opportunity of fishing with “DA Bears” or at least a chance to view some.

Some other attractions available on the Peninsula are Kenai Fjords tours, Sea Kayaking, Hiking, Museums, Glacier Tours, Seward Sea Life Center, River Rafting Trips and Wildlife.
