Discover Alaskan Adventures – Salmon

Discover Alaskan Adventures welcomes you for a lovely river fishing trip out of Kasilof Alaska. After you meet your Guide at the launch location near kasilof, you’ll enjoy a scenic float on the quiet and beautiful Kasilof River. Our company will make sure you have an enjoyable and successful trip, so join us aboard and create many lovely moments on the water.

You’ll be fishing from Willie Boats drift boat that can seat up to 5 guests per boat.

The species you can target include Sockeye, Chinook, and Coho Salmon, depending on what’s available at certain times throughout the season, all of them tasty and elusive. To attract them, you’ll use light and heavy tackle to bottom fish, troll, spin, and drift fish. You get to keep all the fish you catch. Feel free to bring kids aboard and enjoy a wonderful family stay on the water or a nearby gravel bar during sockeye season.

Our company will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and will also clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. You just bring your licenses and some food and drinks to stay refreshed.

Discover Alaskan Adventures welcomes you aboard, join in and have a great fishing experience in Alaska!

Different tactics, catch limits and species of salmon vary dependent on time of year. Please reach out if you have any questions about certain times of year
