Foster recommends anglers find some fast-moving water, near the shore.

“These sockeye are going all the way up to the Russian, so they’re moving. They’re not holding up in holes,” Foster said. “All these fish are going to the Russian, so I imagine the Russian River is going to be amazing.”

For the Lower Kenai, a hook and bead is all you need. Anglers on the Russian River need to use Russian River flies — a single hook, unbaited fly with a gap between point of shank of 3/8 or less. The fly must weigh less than a quarter ounce. If a weight is used, it must be 18 inches ahead of the fly.

As for kings on the Kenai, they are out are present, but in low numbers.

“The kings have been present on the Kenai. There are a few out there but it’s slow,” Foster said. “We talked to a drift boat yesterday that got one. They are there.”
