Fishing
The town of Kasilof is located fifteen miles south of Soldotna along the Sterling Highway on the Kenai Peninsula. It is a popular summer recreational destination. Camping, wildlife viewing, scenic views, and fishing at the Kasilof River and at Johnson Lake are some of the reasons why.
The boat launch at this site along the Kasilof River is popular with fishing guides and sport fishermen.
A state fishing license is usually required.
