- Red salmon, or sockeye salmon, are typically 5-10 lbs, but can be
as large as 15 lbs.
- Silver salmon, or coho salmon, are typically 6-12 lbs., growing
as large as 18 lbs.
- Dog salmon, or chum salmon, are typically 8-15 lbs., but can be

All of these species can be found on the Kenai Peninsula - many of the
