About how long on the average does it take reds to make it to the upper Kenai from the mouth. Thanks.

Well since no one posted to this, over 150 views and no answer, I'll answer the question. I sent a PM to Alaska Outdoor. Journal and asked Klondike Kid the same question. at least he cares enough to answer. He said it takes about 10 days on the average for the fish to travel from the mouth to the Russian River area. Hopefully this helps out a fellow angler.The secret to fishing is: Fish where the fish are.

Yeah that's right. It was two or so years ago they stuck in the lake. Why was that again? Super high water levels?
Other than that I've always heard 10 days, too. Sure it's been discussed here a lot. But as that one season showed, 10 days is just an average and stuff can apparently throw that off pretty bad.

I have no clue what these fish are in terms of crazy bright first run fish or super fast more normally colored second run fish. I'm not really a upper river expert. Caught us completely off guard to see so many reds. The big schools we saw were all in frog water so we didn't really try for them. Made a few casts, hooked/snagged (don't know lost them all) a few. Had we know there were so many decent sockeyes in the upper, we probably would have broken out the red rigs a bit.
