🔥 What’s Biting in August?
✅ Silver Salmon (Coho) – Hard-Hitting Fighters!
August is peak season for silver salmon, known for their aggressive strikes, powerful runs, and aerial acrobatics. These fish hit hard and fight harder, making them one of the most exciting species to target. Whether you prefer casting spinners, drifting bait, or fly fishing, coho salmon will put your skills to the test.
✅ Trophy Rainbow Trout – Late-Summer Giants!
The Kenai River is home to some of the biggest wild rainbow trout in the world, and August is the best time to catch them. With an abundance of food in the river, these trophy trout grow massive, offering incredible catch-and-release action.
✅ Sockeye Salmon (Reds) – The Final Runs!
While the peak sockeye runs happen in June and July, late-season sockeye are still available in early August. These fresh, strong fish provide an exciting challenge and are some of the best-tasting salmon you can catch.
