Fishermen reported mixed results while fishing for sockeye salmon along the banks of the Kenai and Russian rivers since the Monday opener -- some left with limits of fresh salmon, others with simply broken hearts and sore shoulders.
Jason Pawluk, assistant area management biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said many anglers were reporting better luck in the clear waters of the Russian River above the Russian River Ferry, rather than the more popular spot immediately downstream of the ferry.
