Kenai Salmon Run Slows This Year | Anchorage News

The Kenai River sockeye run is off to a slower start this year, with numbers down to less than 16% of last year’s record-breaking four million fish—but officials believe it’s just a delayed run, with a big surge expected soon. Meanwhile, the Kasilof River is also slower, but not as dramatically. Fishermen are on edge, watching for those daily updates as the run pulses in with the tides, not the steady flow of recent years. Mother Nature’s shifting rhythm means expectations are changing—and the big peak could hit any day now, with 25-50% of the fish still to come.
