Good news for those of you planning on flying home from Alaska with fish boxes this summer. Your first three checked bags will only be $20 per bag.  If you pack accordingly you could take up to 100 pounds of fish home for only $40.

The catch and release order has been lifted. Fishing has resumed on the Kenai River with the normal June regulations in place. 

The Kenai River has reopened to catch and release king salmon fishing from the mouth to the Soldotna bridge.

Yesterday was a great day for Freya Brier of Bellevue, WA and Theresa Brown of Boulder, CO. It was the first time either of them had tried salmon fishing. After 12-13 takedowns for the boat, and a lot of good bites, they were hooked. We will DEFINITELY be seeing these ladies on the river again.

As many of you have heard the Kenai River is currently closed to king fishing. This closure is for the first run of Chinook ONLY. The Kenai is expected to reopen on July 1, 2010 from the mouth of the river to the Soldotna Bridge.

Due to the closure, Hi-Lo is offering special discounted rates on king salmon/halibut combos in Cook Inlet for the rest of the month of June. We also have special rates for king fishing on the Kasilof River.
