The Kenai River is by far the most popular King Salmon Fishing retreat with the current world record of 97lbs, but with the possibility of catching a monster King comes the crowds. A typical day on the lower Kenai consists of several hundred power boats hunting for Kings. If a quieter more relaxed King fishing adventure is what you are looking for, then consider a guided King Salmon fishing trip on the beautiful Kasilof river. The Kasilof is a drift-only river, so the noise and wakes of powerboats is never a problem the only sounds you will hear is an excited guide yelling "Fish On", a chattering eagle, or the peaceful sound of a drift boat gliding down river. 50lb King Salmon are not uncommon in July on the Kasilof and Kenai Rivers.
