Our Kasilof River Fishing Calendar is also reflected in our Alaska Fishing Calendar. Contact us any time for information on Kenai River Salmon Run Dates as well as the Kenai River Fishing Season. We fish for King Salmon, Sockeye Salmon and Silver Salmon on the Kasilof River. Treat the Kenai River Fishing Calendar as if it is the same for the Kasilof River. Most of the fishing we do on the Kasilof River occurs during the peak runs of fish. Some fishing on the Kasilof River is available by request only.
