One of the most often asked questions we here is “When
is the best time to fish for salmon on the Kenai river?”
Understandably, this question is foremost in the minds
of everyone planning a fishing trip to the renowned Kenai
river each year.
We will try to answer this question here as well as the
question “What can you expect when fishing the Kenai river
for King Salmon”.
We will start by telling you there are two runs of Kenai
Kings and two runs of Sockeye Salmon in the Kenai each
year. The first run of Kenai King Salmon begins to really
show well between the 10th and 20th of May and continues
right into the second run which begins to arrive around
the last week of June with the major arrivals occuring
somewhere in the final weeks of July.
The earliest king caught on record was on April 24th, though
I believe there has been kings caught before that date
but just not recorded. And don't forget the World Record
King Salmon was caught in May right here on the Kenai River.
Alaska Salmon Fishing
What is the benefit of fishing the Kenai River
for salmon in June.
For Alaskans, the long dark winter has finally passed and
we are all looking foreward to another summer of heart
poundin', reel rippin', tackle bustin' fun that makes up
the real reason we have chosen to live our lives in the
land of plenty. Late May and all of June offers a way the
local residents to get in a great day of fishing and see
the river at it's lowest point before the melting snows
begin to fill the rivers to their summer levels. This is
also an opportunity to explore and see the changes in the
river from a winter of ice and sometimes floods that shift
gravel bars, rocks, and even river channels from one year
to the next. Learning these changes will save allot of
props on there own boat in the summer months to follow.
