Fishing Report, Tues. June 4th 10:00am
Fishing over the weekend was good on the Southern Kenai Peninsula, with the help from High Tides, some good weather and great river conditions.
Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik were all fishing well for King Salmon. Still a few Steelhead hanging around, adding to the action!
King Salmon fishing on the Kasilof is improving, as water level continues to rise slowly. Doing well from the drift boats and also river bank fishing.
Upper Kenai River will be open June 11th for fishing, and their starting to see sockeye in the Kenai already.
The King Salmon count on the Anchor R. is running higher than last year, although there is still room for improvement.
As of: June 1st we were at 938 fish, compared to 143 last year on the same day.
It would be nice to see numbers at about 1,500 by now, which would be more on track for a 7-8 thousand fish year…
Best time to fish for King Salmon on the river is, two hours before high tide - to 2 hours after high tide, for a big push of fish coming in the river.
Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik will be open on Sat. June 8th, 9th, and 10th for the last 3 days of King fishing.
Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik will be closed until July 15. With the upper river, past the markers, open August 1st.
Halibut Fishing and Salmon trolling has been good and many reports of Orca’s and Whales in the area.
Actually an amazing sad story my bud saw… a pack of Killer whales taking out a whale calf as the mama whale was bellowing for help... sad but… Natural Channel in HD.
