The wait is finally over! The Russian River opens tonight at midnight, and anglers from all over Alaska will be hitting the water in hopes of connecting with the first wave of sockeye salmon.
As the season gets underway, I’ll be keeping a close eye on the run and sharing updates on fish counts, fishing conditions, and what’s happening on the river. Whether you’re planning to fish opening night or make the trip later this season, stay tuned for regular reports.
Good luck to everyone heading out tonight. Be safe, be respectful of your fellow anglers, and may your net stay busy. Tight lines, everyone! ‼️
