KENAI, Alaska (AP) — Wildlife officials are waiting for the king salmon run to develop, but say preliminary signs near the Kenai Peninsula are positive.
Homer-based Fish and Game Area Management Biologist Carol Kerkvliet said preliminary numbers of king salmon are better than they’ve been in several years.
“We are still waiting for the run to develop,” he said.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game started counting early run king salmon a little more than 13 days ago. Hundreds more fish than the last two years combined have been recorded so far by Kenai River sonar.
