Skunked on the Russian River!



The Russian River is a beautiful stream flowing from Upper Russian Lake, through Lower Russian Lake and emptying into the Kenai River at Mile 55 of the Sterling Highway. There is a privately operated ferry at the confluence of the rivers carrying foot-passengers to what is perhaps the busiest fishing spot in Alaska. There is always a big crowd. We usually have a lot of success fishing there but this summer we were SKUNKED!!!! Too bad. The kids had a great time though. It was nice to catch up with my cousin Hazel and her kids.
