Kenai River Silver Salmon Fishing: 2027 Guide
Silver (Coho) Salmon are a premier game fish. This 2027 guide covers silver salmon run timing, best lures, flies, and bag limits on the Kenai River.
2027 Silver Salmon Run Timing
The early coho run begins in late July and peaks around August 15. The late run starts in September, peaking mid-month and continuing into October.

Limits are 2 silvers per day in August, increasing to 3 silvers per day in September. Fish must be retained if removed from the water.
