After leaving Homer, we headed east back towards Anchorage, stopping at Soldotna. Our RV park was on the south side of the Kenai, and it turns out (According to the fish counting data- I'm not making this up) about 2/3 of the fish follow the northern bank when headed up the river.
We were kinda between runs of sockeye salmon on Kenai, because the early run is in June, and the second run is in late July. We were there in early/mid July, and while there were reds in the river.... . there weren't tons of them. They were coming in better numbers on the Kasilov River, but on review, fishing there was very crowded, and catch rates weren't stellar.
The ladies had a decent time walking around town in Soldotna, looking for treasures.
The men and Amanda took turns "flossing" for reds on the south bank of the Kenai, next to camp. A couple brief hookups occurred, but no fish met the knife by our hand. We did get to watch 20-25 fishermen on the opposite bank catch fish, but they weren't hammering them, either.
Alas..... onward to Seward.
