Alaska Salmon Fishing

What makes the Kenai River special??? Perhaps it’s the fact that the world record king salmon was hauled from her glacial blue waters. Or maybe she is special because 7 of the 10 largest king salmon ever caught on hook and line came from her powerful currents. Anyone who has ever fished for Kenai River king salmon will tell you that this is unlike any fishery in the world. The chance at a world record chinook salmon with each drift, separates the Kenai River from all other rivers on the planet! The Kenai is special for her history as a big fish producer and for her future as the most likely location for the new world record to be landed. The Kenai king salmon fishery is separated into two distinct runs. The first run begins in early May; in fact, the world record was a May fish. These first-run fish can be enormous kings that are generally tributary spawners.

The 2nd run officially kicks off July 1st and runs until the last day of July. This is our busiest time of the year so please book your July king fishing early! Thank you to all of the anglers that choose to release these very special Kenai kings back into the river to continue this strain of the world’s largest king salmon. Alaskan Widespread Fishing continues to promote catch and release and to participate in the “Release a Hawg, Take Home a Trophy” program. This program provides $800 to all anglers that choose to release king salmon over 50 inches during the month of July. Our Kenai River king salmon run continues to provide anglers with world-class fishing year after year!
