Fishing on the Kenai

I would recommend Centennial Park in Soldotna. There are numerous campsites, but they are probably all booked now - give them a try to be sure. Centennial has a public fishing beach and the fishing is good now - yesterday 92,000 sockeye passed the sonar fish counter one mile downstream of Centennial. The comment about spawning fish being mushy is true, but understand in the Kenai River the spawning grounds are at River Mile 80 (or so) and Soldotna is at River Mile 20. The fish caught in the Soldotna area are bright chrome and have only been out of the saltwater for a day or two.

I'm off to catch dinner right now...
