Summer 2026 · about 100 days of light
Here's how the summer runs.
The famous Kenai reds stack up through July, silvers close it out, and halibut bite the whole way through. Pick your week by what you want to catch. Kings are closed for the 2026 season, including catch-and-release, per ADF&G.

Pick your week
Open weeks, and what they fish.
Most weeks are held for returning families and the missions & pastors' weeks we set aside. The open ones are first-come. Lock one and grab your airfare while it's low.
