Alaska Guided Fishing
- Silver Salmon Fishing
-
- Coho or Silver salmon are the favorite of most
Alaskan anglers. The Kenai and the Kasilof receive early runs of silver
salmon with good to excellent fishing from early August to early
September. They are hefty fish, with some exceeding 20 pounds. They are
very hard fighters on light and medium tackle and are very aggressive and
readily strike lures and take baited hooks. Late summer and fall is when
things begin to quiet down on the Kenai River making these fishing trips
quite enjoyable. We use lures and bait fished from boats anchored in
river channels and focus on newly arriving fish fresh from the saltwater.
-
- In addition to the Kenai and the Kasilof there is a
wide range of short flight fly-out trips to the west side of the Cook
Inlet. These fish see little fishing pressure and can be very
aggressive. Some of the fly out services will provide bait and will
provide instructions on how to best catch these silvers. These remote
silver trips are also a great way to see a portion of Alaska from the
air. The west side of the Cook Inlet is very scenic with glaciers,
volcanoes and where thousands of lakes and rivers blanket the landscape.
It is a special experience, one were the angler will have an opportunity
to experience a piscatorial landscape and view wildlife.
