Silver (Coho) Salmon: Starting in late July and continuing through September, silver salmon runs offer anglers energetic fights and high-quality catches. The Kasilof River is particularly noted for its robust silver salmon returns.

King Salmon: Due to anticipated low returns, the Kenai River king salmon fishery will be closed for the 2025 season to protect the species. However, the Kasilof River remains open for king salmon fishing, with specific regulations in place to ensure sustainability.
