Come drift boat fishing on Kasilof
One of the special things things about the Kenai peninsula is the Kasilof river. The Kasilof starts at the mouth of Tustemena Lake, one of Alaska’s largest glacial lakes, and then spills west into the Cook Inlet.
We fish the Kasilof in drift boats and leave the outboards back on the Kenai. With no power boats on the river the fishery is relaxing. The Kasilof also tends to get less angler pressure than it’s “Big Brother,” which lends itself to a more tranquil experience.
The Kasilof is a short tidal influenced river, so we almost always catch chrome bright Salmon fresh from the ocean. These fish are hard fighting and great eating.
Being a less-trafficked river, the Kasilof provides many great chances to view wildlife like moose and eagles.
All in all, the Kasilof is just a great river. If you’re planning trip to the Kenai Peninsula, a day or two fishing the Kasilof River is a great option!

Drift Boat fishing in a big Willie boat is a must-do on a fishing trip to Alaska. Anglers come to the Kenai Peninsula to catch big King Salmon and big Silver Salmon.
Alaska Fishing
The Kenai River is the most popular sport fishing destination in Alaska, particularly for King salmon, also known as Chinook salmon. Each year we have two runs each of King Salmon, Silver Salmon, red salmon, plus a run of pink salmon every second year. Occasionally there will be reports of catches of Steelhead Trout.
Alaska Wild Life
The Kenai peninsula, home to the famous Kenai River and Kasilof River, has as much Alaska wildlife as any region of Alaska. And Alaska is famous for its abundance of wild life . While fishing we have seen moose, bear, eagles, beavers, cranes, ducks and every wild creature of Alaska. The two rivers are most famous for salmon and trout fishing ,but you can encounter many types of wildlife while fishing and visiting this wonderful region of Alaska.
