If you’ve been wondering whether now is the time to book that Alaska fishing trip, the answer is simple: YES.
And if you’re wondering where to go, the answer is even simpler: the Kenai Peninsula.
Whether you’re after salmon, trout, or just the unforgettable experience of fishing in wild, scenic Alaska, here are 7 reasons why 2025 is the perfect year to book a guided fishing trip with Kenai Fly Fish.
✅ 1. The Salmon Runs Are Looking Strong for 2025
Alaska’s salmon forecasts are stacking up nicely for the year ahead:
-
Over 4.19 million sockeye salmon are expected to return to the Kenai River
-
The Kasilof River is anticipating more than 1.24 million reds
-
Silver salmon (coho) are expected to run strong from August through October
-
Pink salmon will also return in big numbers (even-numbered year = bonus action!)
No matter your experience level, there’s a salmon run for you in 2025.
🛶 2. You Can Fish the Kenai or Kasilof—Your Way
At Kenai Fly Fish, we offer flexible charters from both rivers:
-
Power boat charters on the Kenai River – fast access to the action
-
Drift boat trips on the Kasilof River – peaceful, motor-free floats
-
Half-day, 3/4-day, and full-day options to match your schedule
Whether you’re bringing the family or fishing solo, we’ll customize the day for your skill level and goals.
🎯 3. Limit-Style Sockeye Action
When the sockeye are in thick (typically mid-July through early August), it’s nonstop rod-bending excitement.
You’ll have a chance to:
-
Catch up to 6 reds per person
-
Fight them in fast current for an adrenaline rush
-
Leave with plenty of premium fillets for the freezer
🌲 4. You’re Surrounded by Alaska’s Wild Beauty
The Kenai Peninsula isn’t just about fishing—it’s about the full experience.
-
Towering spruce forests and crystal-clear water
-
Wildlife sightings including eagles, moose, bears, and more
-
Local vibes in Soldotna, Sterling, Cooper Landing, and Kasilof
It’s more than just a charter—it’s a journey into Alaska’s wild soul.
📆 5. Prime Dates Are Booking Fast
With no king salmon fishing on the Kenai in 2025, pressure will be higher on sockeye and silver dates.
That means:
-
July and August will fill first
-
Silver season (August–September) is already seeing inquiries
-
Booking early = more choices + better trip timing
