Great time had by all! 

This home is everything the owner said and more. It is a short hop out of town, which gives you time to view the resident moose who lives around mile 12 (be careful driving!) The neighborhood is quiet and the views of the river from the front porch are beautiful. Would rent this property again without question.  Mike V.  8/7/2017 - HomeAway

Kenai Fishing Report August 25, 2017

• Fishing for coho salmon on the Kenai and Kasilof rivers is excellent. Anglers are achieving bag limits throughout both rivers. All indications are that coho are late this year.
• Fishing for sockeye salmon on the lower Kenai is winding down. Fishing continues to be productive with fishing being the most successful just below Skilak Lake to Bings Landing; however, most fish have turned and are approaching spawning phase. A few bright fish can still be found.
• Fishing for sockeye salmon in the Upper Kenai and Russian River Rivers is good with higher passages of fish in recent weeks. Most fish have turned and are approaching spawning phase. A few bright fish can still be found. Reminder: fishing for sockeye salmon in the Russian River and confluence area CLOSED Sunday, August 20, 2017.

• Fishing for rainbow trout and Dolly Varden is good with king salmon spawning and sockeye salmon beginning to spawn. Fishing should only improve from this point forward
