STERLING HIGHWAY
RUSSIAN RIVER FERRY
Fishermen use the Russian River Ferry to get across to the other side of the Kenai River at the Russian River Campground. You can fish the Sterling Highway side of the Kenai River, but fishing for reds is really good on the far side, where the Russian River enters the Kenai. It's a nominal fee for the journey. They say that Teddy Roosevelt rode an earlier version of the ferry across the river when he visited Alaska. It's a fun trip even if you aren't fishing, but fish- ing here is relatively easy. Use a salmon rod (fly and spinning rods both work) connected to a salmon fly and sinker.
