(From the back cover): Fishing Alaska's Kenai River
is a definitive guide to angling the state's most popular
sport fishery. Perhaps no other river in the world can present
such profuse sport fishing opportunities coupled with easy
access, affordable accommodations, and beautiful vistas. Anglers
line the riverbanks in summer hoping to land one or more of the
hundreds of thousands of red and silver salmon caught every year
while both power and drift boats navigate the turquoise waters in
search of trophy king salmon to 90 pounds or more and 35-inch
rainbow trout.
 This book focuses on the entire Kenai River drainage, the
mainstem river as well as tributary streams and lakes, and all
the game fish available. Hot spots along and within the river
system are highlighted accompanied with detailed information on
access, facilities, services, fish run timing, proven techniques,
best lures and flies, and much, much more.
 Draining
an area of 2,200 square miles, this major river system on the
Kenai Peninsula is home to a plethora of fish and wildlife.
Millions of salmon ascend the glacial bluish-green Kenai every
season, destined for spawning habitat that may be as diverse as
intertidal estuaries and muskeg lowland streams to mountain lakes
and spring-fed creeks. This exceptional biodiversity creates an
incredibly nutrient-rich environment in which populations of
trout, char, whitefish, and other species thrive in abundance.
From the forest-clad Chugach mountain range towering over the
upper river and its clearwater tributaries to the expansive
grasslands surrounding its terminus at Cook Inlet, the famous
Kenai has something to offer even the most discriminating angler.
