Ice-free upper Kenai good news for anglers: As ice clears from lakes, watch for fish to start biting
Peninsula Clarion
It might still look more like Christmas outside than springtime, but diehard anglers have been doing well plying the open water of the upper, and upper middle Kenai River in recent weeks.
A generally warm spring has peeled back the ice on the river and opened up the landings, allowing both shore anglers and boaters to access the Kenai’s teal blue waters surrounded by still snowy mountains.
Robert Begich, the area sportfish management biologist for the Department of Fish and Game in Soldotna said that while he’d been getting good reports from the Kenai, he had yet to hear anything from the Kasilof River to the south.
