Fishermen who live in  Southcentral Alaska, including Alaska's largest city of Anchorage, plot  their fishing seasons around the arrival of king salmon, red salmon, and  silver salmon. To all of them, the Kenai is a magical river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003eNot  only is it the place of dreams, where an angler might catch a world  record or world-class fish, it is, despite its nearness to the small  cities of Kenai and Soldotna, still a wilderness. At one bend in the  river there might be a hotel, a private summer home, or a forest since  the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge also swallows the Kenai River.\u003cp\u003eThe  eighty-file-mile-long Kenai River is, more or less, two rivers. The  upper river prohibits motorized boats altogether. The lower river  features them. The upper river invites rafters and fly-fishermen. The  lower river offers savvy guides who know each turn of the river, each  rock’s placement, and the opportunity to fish for 70-, 80-, or 90-pound  salmon through specially developed styles appropriate to the area and  the species. The upper river allows for Dolly Varden and rainbow trout  fishing. The lower river emphasizes big salmon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach summer  thousands of anglers fish the Kenai River. They bring millions of  dollars worth of business to the Kenai Peninsula while following their  dreams and bringing home stories of wilderness fishing adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lew Freedman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48304442573051,"sku":"9780882409061","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780882409061_ecf02d11-51b0-44a8-a5e2-494eef569ac1.jpg?v=1772483299","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/my-season-on-the-kenai-9780882409061","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
