WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Tustumena Lake is a massive 58,000-acre lake on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, one of the largest lakes in the state and a remote wilderness fishing destination for sockeye salmon, coho salmon, rainbow trout, and Arctic char. The lake feeds into the Kasilof River, creating a complete salmon and trout watershed fishery in a spectacular and seldom-visited corner of the Kenai Peninsula. Spot Features: Tustumena Lake is a 58,000-acre lake in Kenai Peninsula Borough, one of the largest lakes in Alaska, accessible by floatplane or the Tustumena River from Kasilof. It supports large runs of sockeye and coho salmon alongside resident rainbow trout and Arctic char in a remote wilderness setting. Standard Alaska multi-species lake and river fishing techniques apply. Seasonality: Sockeye salmon are the primary salmon target at Tustumena Lake in summer (July-August) during their spawning migration up the Kasilof River drainage. Coho salmon follow from August through October. Rainbow trout are a year-round resident, most active in spring and fall. Arctic char provide year-round fishing in the cold, deep lake.
