We were very pleased with the king fishing.... not so much that it was anything approaching epic, but rather by comparison it was head and shoulders better than last years lackluster bust of a run.

Now the sockeye flossing on the other hand was beyond epic. To the best of my knowledge the previous daily record count for the Kenai was on the order of 110-120K. We witnessed a 230K day followed by a 170K day! In fact over the course of our stay, 0.95 million reds stormed up the glacial flows! Averaged over 8 days, that's a whopping 119K-plus per day! Imagine fishing on top of a record daily escapement 8 days in a row. That's some serious whackin' and stackin' if someone really wanted to get busy.
