Sockeye (Red) Salmon Fishing on the Kenai River
and the Kasilof River
All five species of salmon in Alaska have two different names. Sockeye salmon
are also known as Red Salmon by both locals and those visitors who frequent the rivers of Alaska to catch this marvelous fish. Pound for pound, no salmon fights more fiercely than the red salmon. Red salmon runs on the Kenai River frequently exceed more than 1 million fish each year and at the peak are virtually head to tail and 3 or more fish deep along the banks. However, if you come too early or come to late you can totally miss the run. The two Red Salmon runs on
the Kenai river typically are -- in mid-June at the confluence of the Kenai and Russian Rivers -- and from mid-July through the first week of August for the second and larger run of reds on the main Kenai River.
As red salmon are bank runners (they usually hug the banks of rivers rather than running up the middle of rivers), fishing for them is normally done from the shore or gravel bars.
