We will be on the Kenai Peninsula the last week of July, where would be the best place to fish for Sockeye Salmon? And any other species or areas on the Kenai Peninsula you would recommend targeting that time of year besides Sockeye?
Thanks! Steve

Jen,
Steve, congrats on your upcoming trip to Alaska! There will still be the second run of Sockeye present in the Kenai River as well as some early arriving Silver Salmon. Silvers are by far one of the most fun salmon to fish for as they are extremely aggressive and fight hard! The Russian River that feeds into the Kenai River offers great bank access. There are also many spots along the Kenai that are easily identifiable to pull over and fish as well. As always consult regulations and emergency orders before fishing as species and fishing for them can change quickly here. Good luck!
Cheers - Adam

Hi Jen
Your best option for Sockeye the last week of July will be the Lower Kenai River, in the town of Soldotna (Swift Water, Morgans, or Cential Camp Grounds) or Bings Landing in Sterling. For trout I would fish the Russian River or the Upper Kenai River in Cooper Landing.
