Hero's Among Us: Russian River Ferry employees Brian Yarbrough, from Oxford, Miss., and Wesley Howell from Starkville, Miss., rescued a woman from the freezing cold waters of the Kenai River in early July 2008.
Wesley Howell is a student at Mississippi State University majoring in wildlife management. Brian Yarbrough is a student at Ole Miss majoring in parks and recreation management. We are lucky to have such brave and unselfish young men working in our recreational areas here and throughout Alaska. Our hats are off to both of you and to the parents of these gentlemen as well. Read the entire article in the Anchorage Daily News. The Russian River Ferry is operated by Alaska Recreational Management which also operates Russian River Campground and parking lots under a contract with the U.S. Forest Service.

Did You Know: The Kenai River is the greatest salmon fishing river in the world, holding nearly two dozen current International Game Fish Association world records for three species of Salmon and other fish.

A little something about Salmon Fishing on the Kenai: Bank fisherman on the Kenai river find success using a weight and casting with a single hook or casting and drifting large spoons such as the Pixie Spoon bouncing them off the bottom. This is a well proven style of fishing and is a successful tactic for Kenai salmon. Another method is casting a #6 Vibrax spinner upstream and reeling in just fast enough to keep the lure bouncing off the bottom. Fly fishermen using attractor flies like the Glowbug or Alaskabou have had their share of hook ups and my personal favorite, the Purple Egg Sucking Leach, is a consistent performer.

Bank fisherman beware, When salmon fishing on the Kenai, especially for the King Salmon, no matter what the water you are fishing, be prepared to run when you hook that big brute of an Alaska salmon! These fish often make long runs that are known to exhaust the line from a reel. This makes for the need to start a foot race just to keep from being spooled.
