The Kasilof River — World-Class Fishing in Peace
Just 15 miles south of Soldotna lies the Kasilof River. Sourced from Tustumena Lake, the Kasilof is a drift-boat-only river that offers a more intimate, quieter experience than the Kenai, but with the same species of salmon.
✓
Early Kings
The Kasilof has a hatchery run of king salmon that arrives in late May.

Drift Only
No motors allowed, ensuring a peaceful, traditional drift boat experience.

Fewer Crowds
Significantly less boat traffic than the neighboring Kenai River.
✓
Sockeye Action
