Fishermen eager to hook a red salmon in the Russian River Sanctuary can do so as early as Friday morning.
The area will open at 6 a.m. The bag and possession limit for sockeyes will remain at three, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
The sanctuary includes waters between Fish and Game markers upstream from the ferry crossing on the Kenai River to about 300 yards upstream of the public boat launch at Sportsman's Landing. The sanctuary also include waters around the upstream end of the island near the mouth of the Russian River.
A map to the area is on page 31 of the 2004 Southcentral Alaska sport fishing regulation booklet.
