The Kenai River has one of the most incredible red salmon runs in the world. The red run in the Kenai has both size and numbers, with strains of reds from 7 to 12 lbs. The Kenai has two different runs of reds; the first run begins in the middle of May and will run through June.

The Kasilof River, which is located about 20 miles south of the Kenai, has a run of red salmon that enters about the same time as the Kenai. The Kenai River has its second run of reds around the 10th of July and runs through the middle of August. Both sports fisherman and commercial fisherman heavily target the second run of red salmon that enter the Kenai and Kasilof.

If you don't like fishing around crowds, you might want to fish the run of reds during the first part of August. Many people love fishing for Sockeye because of how hard it fights and its rich flavor.

Alaska Salmon FAQs

How many species of Pacific salmon are there?

Pacific salmon is a generic term used to describe those members of the genus Oncorhynchus that die after spawning. At present, there are seven species commonly referred to as Pacific salmon. There are five species that occur on both sides of the Pacific Ocean:

Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) a.k.a. king salmon

Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) a.k.a. dog salmon

Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) a.k.a. silver salmon

Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) a.k.a. humpback salmon

Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) a.k.a. red salmon

Two species occur only in Asia:

Masu Salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) a.k.a. yamame

Amago Salmon (Oncorhynchus rhodurus) a.k.a. biwamasu

An excellent discussion of the varied life histories of these seven species can be found in C. Groot and L. Margolis [editors] 1991. Pacific Salmon Life Histories, University of British Columbia Press, 564 pp.

Coho Salmon

Pink Salmon

Is it true that salmon return to spawn in freshwater areas where they were born?

Almost always. Some straying has been documented, but it is minor. Most spawning salmon return to the precise stream of their birth, sometimes overcoming great distances and hazardous river conditions to reach home.

What is the difference between the Atlantic salmon and the Pacific salmon?

The Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar) is actually one species within the genus Salmo. Pacific salmon are represented by seven different species, see question above, and belong to the genus Oncorhynchus. The seven Pacific salmon species have life histories that are extremely complex and vary widely within and between species. However, all the Pacific salmon die shortly after spawning. Atlantic salmon have a much less variable range of life history strategies across the species and have high post spawning mortality but are capable of surviving and spawning again.

Atlantic Salmon

Weights of 100 pounds and slightly over have been reported from European countries for the Atlantic salmon; the record for the largest of the Pacific species, chinook, is 126 pounds for a fish caught on commercial gear in Alaskan waters.

Are steelhead (rainbow trout) trout or salmon?

Until 1988, steelhead (the anadromous form of rainbow trout) was classified in the genus Salmo along with Atlantic salmon, brown trout, and several western trout species. With additional osteology and biochemistry data, biologists have now reclassified steelhead as members of the genus Oncorhynchus. The reason for this is that new information suggested that steelhead are more closely related to Pacific salmon than to brown trout and Atlantic salmon. As such, the American Fisheries Society - American Society of Ichthyologists Committee on Names of Fishes voted unanimously to accept Oncorhynchus as the proper generic name. For full scientific details, see Smith, G. R., and R. F. Stearley. 1989. The classification and scientific names of rainbow and cutthroat trouts. Fisheries 14 (1): 4-10. As such, the scientific name of steelhead was changed from Salmo gairdneri to Oncorhynchus mykiss. The generic names of the golden, Mexican golden, Gila, and Apache trouts were also changed to Oncorhynchus. Since all of these western trouts including steelhead are biologically capable of repeat spawning and do not die after spawning, it has been suggested this group be called the Pacific trout.

Where do salmon go in the ocean?

Contrary to earlier beliefs, many salmon from North American rivers roam far at sea in the North Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. The oceanic distribution of the salmon is dependent upon the species and point of origin. Sockeye and chinook salmon from northwest Alaska, for example, may migrate across the Bering Sea to areas close to Kamchatka, U.S.S.R., and south of the Aleutian Islands into the North Pacific Ocean; the sockeye also migrate eastward to the Gulf of Alaska. Salmon such as the pink, chum, and coho from central and southeast Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington State, migrate out into the northeastern Pacific and Gulf of Alaska. Many steelhead trout from Washington and Oregon are known to migrate far at sea to areas off the Alaskan Peninsula. Some salmon migrate several thousand miles from the time they leave the rivers as juveniles until they return as adults. A chinook salmon tagged in the central Aleutian Islands and recovered a year later in the Salmon River, Idaho, had traveled about 3,500 miles; a steelhead trout tagged south of Kiska Island (western Aleutians) was recovered about six months and 2,200 miles later in the Wynoochee River, Washington.

What is a kokanee, or silver trout?

It is the landlocked subspecies of a sockeye salmon. The kokanee spends its entire life in fresh water and usually does not attain the size of its sea-migrating cousin.

Alaska halibut fishing can make for a memory that will last a lifetime. Alaskan halibut are some of the most sought after fish in the world. Clients like the moist, flakey texture of halibut that goes with just about anything. The Cook Inlet is known for some of the best Alaska halibut fishing around. In fact, Homer is the Alaska halibut fishing capital. You never know what size you're going to catch when you drop your line down. Halibut range anywhere from 10 lbs to 410 lbs. The best eating halibut are the ones weighing between 30 and 80 lbs. Larger halibut are generally females - most guides like to let them go so we can keep the population strong with good numbers. Alaska halibut fishing is very popular because of the size of the halibut as well as the deliciousness of the meat.

Halibut are bottom feeders, and you have to keep your line on the floor to catch them. The Cook Inlet has a lot of water movement, so it is always good to call us and ask when the better tides are so you don't end up using 5 lbs of weight just to get your line to the bottom. Smaller tides are better for the Cook Inlet. If you are unable to book your fishing trip around desirable tides, we would probably send you out of Seward, where you would be Alaska halibut fishing in the Gulf of Alaska waters. The waters out there don't move as much as the Cook Inlet, so they are better to fish during bigger tides. Alaska halibut fishing is a great experience and we want to guide your on the best possible one.

All of our captains will fillet your fish for you and put them in a container that you provide for them. We have ice chests and bags at the lodge for you to take with you, so be sure to ask about them.
