Kenai River and Fishing - July 24,2010

Here in Soldatna the Kenai River is the focus during the salmon runs.


This is an aerial view I found on the internet of the lower stretch of the Kenai River. You can see the bridge that crosses the river about half-way up from the coastline at the bottom. The river is a tidal river there and the tides run up to 22 feet high People fish near the bridge with rods and reels and dip-nets. The dip-netters must be residents of Alaska and others must buy out of state licenses.
