Welcome to our Fishing Reports and Pix section.

You can find regularly updated reports of both Alaska's Kenai and Washington's Olympic Peninsula fishing as well as pictures from previous days on our fishing trips.

You can also find reader-submitted reports for a number of west coast fisheries, both recent and archived.

Another jumbo Olympic Peninsula steelhead!

Also available are links to Kenai Peninsula sonar counts provide by the Alaska DF&G and other links to government weather reports and water flows.

Generally, we used to try to update this page nearly daily throughout the fishing season. With the availability of water conditions online in real-time, we now update about once weekly during our Washington fishing season and a little more frequently during the summer months.

While first-run king fishing was definitely slower than past seasons ... all was not lost with plenty enough fish to provide fairly decent action. Pat & Rainey with one of our fish on a nice evening float ...

Shiny kings and little anglers always = big smiles!

While second-run season officially starts on July 1, some of the larger Kasilof fish don't look at the calendar and surprise us with a little bigger tussle than we typically see ... but soon, there will be plenty of these and larger!

And with first-run fishing winding down, we actually snuck out for a little R&R ... if you can considering digging steamers relaxing ... but eating them sure was!

Next on tap: The madness of July is upon us!

Comments
Ninilchik & Deep Creek Area

Halibut fishing has been decent overall. Nice weather, moderate tides and nice-sized fish have made for some pleasant days on the salt.

A few more reports of salmon sharks in the Inlet this year, so keep your eyes peeled and don't be surprised if you come up with half a halibut!

Kenai River Bait opener for kings was pretty lackluster overall ... some nice fish, but a surprising number of very small (sub 10 lb.) fish were in the mix.

Russian has slowed a bunch, but it won't be long before the main push of Kenai reds hits.

Kasilof River A late push of fish made for some better-than-average late June fishing, but normal lull time looks to be here for kings. Look for increasing numbers shortly if EO's in the commercial sector stay at reasonable levels. Flippers & dippers can find some pulses of reds between the openers.
