Catch & Release for the Future 🎣🏔️
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of hooking into a mighty King salmon—the powerful runs, the heart-pounding battle, and the moment you finally bring one to the net. At Alaskan Widespread Fishing Adventures, we take pride in offering world-class King salmon fishing on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers while practicing responsible catch-and-release fishing to ensure these incredible fish thrive for generations to come.
By choosing to fish with us, you’re not just chasing a trophy—you’re helping to protect the future of Alaska’s wild King salmon.
Why Catch & Release?
✅ Sustaining the King Salmon Population – King salmon numbers fluctuate, and responsible fishing helps protect future runs.
✅ Preserving the Trophy-Class Fish – The Kenai River is known for record-breaking Kings—by releasing them, we give these fish a chance to spawn and continue their legacy.
✅ Ethical and Rewarding Experience – Nothing beats watching a massive King swim away, knowing you’ve done your part to support sustainable fishing.
