The Legendary Chinook
King Salmon Fishing
The Kenai River is home to the world-record king salmon — a 97-pound monster that put this river on the map. Kings run in two waves: the early run in May-June and the late run in July. Note: King salmon fishing is subject to ADF&G emergency orders. Check current regulations before booking. When open, our guides target kings in the deep holes and runs where these giants hold.
