The Kenai River meets Skilak Lake, forming the middle part
of the river, which goes to Soldotna Bridge. If you’re looking for wildlife
and true isolation, this section is for you. With a ten-mile stretch that
has no boat access and a variety of animals, including moose, bear, and
waterfowl, the Kenai embraces the wild. To get to some prime fishing, you’ll
need a boat; however, some parts of the middle river can get too low to
navigate. Throughout the summer, the Kenai rises, allowing boats easier
passage.
In this remote section you’ll find some of the best trout
and Silver Salmon fishing on the river. Unlike the upper and lower parts of
the Kenai, this section has fewer sportsmen, guides, and visitors on it.
Soldotna Bridge marks the end of the middle section and the beginning of the
lower part, which terminates at Cook’s Inlet. Before the inlet, the river
can get very busy. Its banks are fairly crowded with businesses and homes.
Along with being congested, the river also has some sandbars and large
rocks, making it tough to navigate.
The second King run, in June and July, is the most popular with anglers
looking to land the next world record salmon. The lower river has easy
access and many of the approximately 400 registered guides can be found in
this section.
The King (Chinook) Salmon can be as large as a man and as tough to haul in
as any sport fish. It’s the prize catch on any Kenai River fishing trip. For
anglers looking for some of the largest salmon in the world, this section of
the river offers the greatest opportunity for hauling in the ultimate catch
and coming up with the biggest fish story. |
