| | Alaska Fishing - Kasilof River Salmon Fishing - Guided Fishing for Early-Run Kasilof River, Alaska King Salmon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Most popular of all of the Kasilof's salmon fisheries, the first-run king salmon begin making their appearance in early May. However, fishing doesn't really begin to pick up until mid-May with the river opening to the use of bait on the 16th. |
 | | The first-run Kasilof kings are primarily of hatchery origin (check the Alaska fishing regulations page for more information), returning to a small tributary named Crooked Creek about five miles upstream from the river's mouth. |
 | | We tend to avoid some of the other anglers on the river by concentrating our efforts in the tidal water rather than the busy area at the mouth of Crooked Creek where many guides congregate to fish over kings waiting to ascend the creek. |
