56,000 Red Salmon swam by the fish counter at mile 19 of the Kenai River on August 7th..and here’s one to prove it! Don’t underestimate the early August tail end of the Sockeye Run…but don’t bank on it either…how’s that for trip planning advice?! Remember, only the salmon know when they’ll swim upriver, and we’re just blessed to have the chance to see them, to sometimes catch them, and to make delicious dinners with them.
Proof is in the River!
About the Author: The Alaska Dream
Our family of six has been living the Alaska Dream on the world famous Kenai River for the past 15+ years, enjoying the bounty of the land & sea in everything we do! All of our children were born in Alaska, and both of us have lived here for 30+ years. We love sharing the Alaska Dream with visitors from around the corner and around the world and we especially love to help families and children catch their 1st salmon, halibut or rainbow trout and learn how to care for it all the way through the process of cooking it in delicious gourmet Alaska fashion. Enjoy reading our Alaska Fishing Report, Cooking Alaska Fish & Game, Alaska Photo of the Week and other sections of our website The Alaska Dream and we hope to have the chance to help you experience YOUR Alaska Dream someday too!
