Half-Day Walk & Wade Steelhead Fishing on the Kasilof River

Explore the Kasilof River on a guided walk-and-wade fishing trip available September through November. Steelhead returns are limited, so this is a pursuit that rewards persistence—not a promise of a catch. Success depends on weather and run timing.

• Target fall steelhead runs that typically peak in mid-October
• Fish with conventional tackle or fly-fishing techniques
