Kenai River Alaska Sockeye Salmon Fishing is Late, We hope...

Ryan Hall is Fishing Kenai River Alaska sockeye salmon, but this trip doesn't go quite as planned.

The alarm goes off at 2:00 AM as Ryan launches his drift boat onto the lower Kasilof River with perfect timing for the incoming tide. Expectations are high, but after hours of fishing an island with fly gear, dip nets, and every trick he knows, the river is strangely quiet. Not a single sockeye.
After getting completely skunked, Ryan heads home to regroup before making one more attempt—this time on the legendary Kenai River.
The destination is College Hole, one of the Kenai's best-known sockeye fishing areas. The muddy hike in is longer and wetter than expected, and along the trail Ryan meets anglers who haven't landed a fish either. That's not exactly encouraging.
Eventually he reaches an area known as The Factory, where he runs into Captain Sim, a fishing guide who recognizes him from YouTube. Captain Sim and his son, Simmy, are cleaning their catch and generously let Ryan take a look at the fish they've landed. A few sockeye are finally showing up, but the action is slow, even here.
With steady rain pouring down, Ryan watches another angler hook up and jumps into the lineup hoping the tide will bring in a fresh push of salmon. Hours pass with only scattered fish being caught, adding more evidence to what everyone has been saying...
Are the Kenai River sockeye salmon running late this year? We sure hope that's all it is.

Join Ryan for another real Alaska fishing adventure filled with early mornings, muddy trails, beautiful scenery, and an honest look at what the fishing is actually like during this year's salmon season.
