The Russian River flows 12 miles from the Upper Russian Lake, through the Lower Russian Lake, into the Kenai River. If you visit when the Sockeye Salmon (Reds) are running, be prepared for one of the most exciting fishing days of your life. Pound for pound Reds are the most powerful freshwater fish. If you are a fly-fisherman, this clear water stream is the perfect place to throw dry flies for rising trout, swing soft hackles, dead drift flesh, or toss a streamer.
