A Day on the Water with Mikey
The Kasilof River is renowned among dialed-in anglers for its late-season steelhead run. Drifting quietly without an engine allows us to approach sensitive holding water without alerting the fish.
✦ Peak Run Timing
October offers the strongest concentrations of active biting fish.
✦ Private Boat Charter
Never crowded. 1 to 4 anglers per charter guarantees maximum river coverage and individual coaching.
