Coho Salmon
Silver Salmon, or Coho, fishing on the Kenai River system is a thrilling experience. These feisty fish arrive in force from late July through September, providing anglers with consistent action. Unlike the larger Kings, Coho are known for their acrobatic leaps and aggressive strikes, making them a favorite among anglers. The Russian River, a tributary of the Kenai, is a particularly productive spot. Fishing beads or spinners in the clear, fast-flowing water is a common and effective method. A useful tip is to focus on areas where the river current slows down, such as behind boulders or along the riverbanks. Coho often congregate in these areas to rest and ambush prey. Be sure to bring plenty of tackle, as these fish can be hard on gear. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding snagging, which is prohibited in certain areas.
