Kenai & Kasilof River Salmon Fishing Charters

Here at Reel 'Em Inn, we offer chartered Salmon fishing in two of the most popular rivers on the Kenai Peninsula, the Kenai River and the Kasilof River. The Kenai River is located two hours south of Anchorage and about an hour north of Ninilchik. The Kasilof River is about two and a half hours south of Anchorage and only 30 minutes north of Ninilchik. In these rivers, you can find four of the five different species of Alaska salmon. These salmon species include the King (Chinook), Sockeye (Red), Coho (Silver) and Pink Salmon. In order to help preserve the coveted King Salmon, we are not offering charters for this species at this time but we proudly offer Red and Silver salmon fishing trips through the months of June, July, and August. Join us in fishing the most bountiful rivers on the Kenai Peninsula as millions of Salmon run through these rivers each year.

A typical day on the river is roughly 6 hours, starting with a boat ride to the fishing grounds. On the Kenai River, you will ride in a powerboat to the best fishing grounds on the middle river. On the Kasilof River, you will be in a drift boat drifting to your prime fishing location. The drift boat is a slower paced ride providing phenomenal sightseeing as you go. When drifting on the upper Kasilof, you will begin your drift through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Many angles have reported seeing moose, bald eagles and even an occasional bear sighting! Red Salmon fishing is predominately done from the banks while silver fishing is done from the boat. Red Salmon are known for their fight but fishing for them is perfect for all ages and ability levels. Silver Salmon are a very sought after species targeted by many anglers later in the season. Both boats are open vessels, meaning there is no shelter from the elements. Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather and fishing charters run rain or shine so please bring appropriate rain gear and layers to stay warm and dry. Food and beverages are not included but feel free to bring whatever refreshments you prefer while fishing!
