If Alaska salmon fishing is on your bucket list, now’s the time to lock it in. The 2025 and 2026 fishing seasons on the Kenai River are already generating major buzz, and with good reason—these rivers offer some of the most productive, scenic, and exciting salmon fishing in the world.
From sockeye and silver salmon to remote river floats and fish-filled freezers, your dream trip starts with a plan—and Kenai Fly Fish is here to guide you every step of the way.
