Booking an Alaska salmon fishing trip with Discover Alaska means you’ll get the best shot at landing a fish. We don’t limit you to one species or river. Water levels, run timings, and fishing pressure change fast.
The night before, you’ll talk with your guide to plan the best strategy. Whether you're after the mighty king, the beautiful red, or the energetic silver, you’ll have a true Alaskan fishing experience.
Catching a king is the dream, and we’re here to make it happen. These giants can weigh over 97 pounds and put up an exhilarating battle. Even a “small” 15-pounder is a worthy opponent. Choose from an exciting day of saltwater trolling or a relaxing day on the Kasilof.
Doubles and triples are common, and no two fights are the same — expect downstream runs, high-flying jumps, and unpredictable tangles. Their flavor is closer to King than Sockeye (and it’s one of our favorites to freeze and cook!).
Watch the rivers fill with plenty of opportunity as millions of Sockeye make their way upstream the Kenai and Kasilof. These fish are as stunning as they are delicious. Prized for their bright red, meaty flesh and mild flavor.
In recent years, saltwater trolling is the most consistent and thrilling. On the Kasilof, we focus on drift boat fishing
