Salmon Fishing

Planning an Alaska trip with a few Buddies in my motorhome. We are going to the Kenia to fish reds in mid July. My question is how much fish are we going to be able to bring home through Cananda. Oh, I forgot, this will be a round trip from Maine.

    Perhaps if you answered his original question, he could better answers yours. :R

    That's true. I've landed hundreds, perhaps thousands of reds and 95% of them were within 15 feet of the bank. But perhaps the OP already knows this. that's why I asked. Whether or not you can keep your feet dry depends on the spot and how far out other anglers have wandered. At the Russian Kenai confluence, the most popular red spot in the whole state, there's a dropoff 10 feet out and that's what the fish follow, but fishermen often go out a few feet and push the fish out when they do.
