| Russian River red salmon |
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has just announced the Kenai River is closed to king salmon fishing until June 30th. This is the first time since 1965 that ADF&G has done this before the season has started. In addition to the closure on the Kenai, restrictions have also been placed on other king salmon streams on the peninsula. Before venturing out make sure to check ADF&G's website for curernt regulations.
So what does that mean for the people who have booked guided king salmon trips with me? You can either cancel altogether, or you can go with Plan B. People that I've contacted so far have replaced their king salmon trip with 1) red salmon trip to the Russian River, 2) rainbow trout/kokanee fishing on area lakes, 3) lake trout fishing, and 4) rainbow/dolly varden fishing on the Kenai River. For some, this didn't work so they've replaced their day scheduled with me for another halibut trip or with a fly in red salmon/bear viewing trip.
If I haven't contacted you yet and you're reading this post be patient. Hopefully we'll be able to connect in the next day or two and get this sorted out for you.

Hey, it's not always about the fish as if you can't have fun on the Kenai, what the heck!
