🗓️ The 2025 Alaska Salmon Season Is Shaping Up to Be Epic
If salmon fishing in Alaska is on your list for 2025, there’s one river you can’t ignore — the Kenai. Known worldwide for its iconic sockeye, chrome-bright silvers, and pink salmon pulses, the Kenai River is primed for a banner year.
Snowpack, water temps, and early ADF&G sonar data all suggest the 2025 salmon runs are on pace to be strong. Whether you’re planning a full-day trip or want to hit the peak sockeye season, this is the year to make it happen.
