While none of the "Four Amigos" want to go fishing here we are getting the benefits of the catch. We have had fish brought to Bob and Sandy's by friends and relatives. Sandy has made halibut dinners and baked salmon. Sandy also has canned salmon for future use and will fix up some salmon for us to bring back with us.
The salmon run in the Kenai River ebbs and flows during June and July. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game provide daily counts of salmon from many locations in the state. The peak in the Kenai River was on July 21 for the late run.
Several times we've heard that the months of June and July are the time when the businesses here make most of their profits. Fishermen and women come from all over the world to fish for the salmon and also halibut in the ocean. The locals who want to can catch three salmon per day and that will increase to six for the last week of July. As Sandy has done, many people will preserve the salmon for later.
