Welcome Anglers
We are in the midst of another great Alaska King Salmon season on the Kasilof River.
Fishing on the Kasilof River for king and silver salmon can be a very rewarding as well as a beautiful Alaska experience. The Kasilof is a drift-boat-only river, which creates a quiet and peaceful trip, unlike the Manhattan-like traffic on the Kenai River with its powerboats. On the Kasilof we fish a six-mile stretch of the lower river using the most productive methods. For the most part we are back trolling fresh bait or plugs on or near the bottom to entice the fish into striking. When the tides come in and the river current slows, we switch to bottom bouncing where we slowly bounce bait off the bottom to trigger a strike. This can be an extremely exciting experience because the fish hit only feet away form the boat and usually explode out of the water right in front of you.
Schedule a trip now for the best in drift boat fishing in Alaska and catch huge salmon, rainbow trout, dolly varden, and steelhead. You will fish with top gear and get 100% from your guide, who has in-depth knowledge of the local environment, fishing conditions, and techniques. We guarantee a quality trip every time out.
If you are looking for accommodations, consider staying at the Kasilof River Lodge, where I am the resident guide. It's right on the Kasilof and a great place to swap fish stories.
