June 21, 2008 ... Here we sit at nearly the mid-point of our our king salmon fishery on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.

Short and sweet is perhaps the best term to describe the first run fishery in both the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. The fish were a little late in their appearance ... followed by a big rush of fish that provided very good fishing on both rivers for a spell: a number of 25-35 take-down days on the Kasilof  with many guests taking adavantage of the expanded two-fish limit & perhaps the best early run king fishing on the Kenai since the mid 80's). But, as with all good things in life, they must come to an end - with both rivers now tailing off into the normal lull for the end of June.

Shawn Murray, aka fish4brains on the PP Forums, wins the weekly Kasilof River Snack Shack big fish prize with this 30+ pound early-run Kasilof King.

The weather has been cool and breezy, which has made life on the saltwater a little tougher, but as is the norm, limits of halibut have been the rule and some barn-door fish have been scattered throughout the catches.

The next few weeks will mark the beginning of the second run of king salmon into both major Peninsula rivers and lingcod anglers are anxiously awaiting the season opener on July 1 as part of a Seward combination trip.

Space is fairly limited for the remainder of the summer, but some room remains for smaller groups ... if you're still making plans to fish this summer, please contact us for possible availability and always check the Specials page for savings on discounted trips / packages.
