...signs of the season

Accidentally get snagged by an errant fish hook? You can get it removed in Sterling.

Don't forget to take off your waders before entering this restaurant in Cooper Landing.

The annual summer fishing frenzy is clearly underway here on the Kenai Peninsula. It seems every other vehicle you pass on the highway is towing a boat or has dipnets strapped to the top of it. Fishing rods stick out of car windows and the daily newspaper prints the sonar count of salmon entering the Kenai River. And, you can get fishing reports updated every few hours on the local radio station. There are plenty of indications that the salmon are here alright. Even the notifications found on local businesses (above) are most assuredly...signs of the season.
