Kenai River Salmon Fishing
from: Kyle BesserA salmon fishing Kenai Alaska experience is a one of a kind adventure. The Kenai river salmon fishing habitat or Special Management Area (SMA) consists of over 150 miles of waterways including the main Kenai River, tributaries, streams and lakes. Some of the larger lakes in the Kenai River SMA include Kenai Lake and Skilak Lake, both of which provide excellent Kenai river salmon fishing opportunities. The Kenai River itself is 82 miles long and empties into Cook Inlet where anglers find some exceptional Kenai River salmon fishing opportunities in the spring and fall seasons as salmon gather to head upriver to the spawning areas.
There are four different species of salmon that make salmon fishing Kenai Alaska exciting and challenging. The King or Chinook salmon, the Silver or Coho salmon, and the Red or Sockeye salmon are the most numerous. The Pinks or Humphries are less common. Due to conservation issues, the Pinks can only be kept on alternate, even numbered years until the population is again rebuilt.
