How to catch each fish we guide for, and how to get it home. These guides cover the rigs, timing and rules for the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers and for halibut and rockfish out of Homer.

Salmon and trout

  • Sockeye salmon: flossing rigs, where to stand, and timing on the Kenai, Kasilof and Russian Rivers.
  • Silver salmon: lures, eggs and back-trolling in August and September.
  • King salmon: back-bouncing and back-trolling, and the current rules.
  • Pink salmon: Kenai River pinks in even-numbered years.
  • Rainbow trout: beads, flies and drifting, and catch-and-release care.

Saltwater

  • Halibut: bait, jigs, depth and tides on a Homer halibut charter.
  • Rockfish: the species, jigs and depths out of Homer.
