I see the fish count on the Russian was way down on Saturday. Anyone fish the Russian or Kenai Saturday or Sunday? Would love to hear a weekend report.
Fished both days- very, very slow. I was in the river by 5 AM both days- on Saturday saw 5 fish in an hour and a half, Sunday a few more but not many. Spent the days on the river working as a StreamWatcher, occasionally saw someone walking back with a fish, one group had two fish, that was about it. I guess some were doing better downriver,, because I saw a few backpacks that looked like they were holding a few fish, but considering the number of people fishing, it was grim.
I fished there on Monday it was slow. I fished down by the power lines. One guy found a nice hole caught 5 in about an hour and a half while the rest of us in the area had one fish on at one point but could not land it. It seems to be really slowing down I would wait till the late run starts.
My wife and I fished at the ferry yesterday. 5 hours we landed 3 fish, lost 6 trying to get them in. It seemed to pick up in the late evening. No bears, but heard there was a sow and cub brown and one black bear running around. Good luck to everyone!
Can someone please give an update? Im wanting to come up this weekend 18th-20th of July but dont want to waste a trip. Where are the reds and will they be going by the ferry around then?
