Oddly enough, Pink salmon on the Kenai River return only on even years. The smallest and most abundant of the Pacific Salmon, Pinks or Humpback Salmon have a strict two-year life cycle. From the moment they emerge from the gravel in early spring, juvenile pinks head for the salt where they mature for a full …
An increase in hatchery fish equals red hot king fishing! If you are a long time visitor or resident to the Kenai Peninsula you can remember the Kasilof River back in the 1990’s when it was teeming with kings throughout May and June. Many of these fish were hatchery produced, originating from the Crooked Creek …
