I agree with Sol pretty much. But, if the Kenai had the same rules as the B.C. rivers damn few kings would be landed.

I have seen guys spooled/broken off by a foul hooked sockeye that got out into the heavy current.

I have seen a couple of Kenai kings landed by bankies, but they were old tired fish. Many more times I have seen kings hooked and immediately broken off. I will say it would be a challenge. . .

I do like the no boat fishing rule on the Thompson. It cuts down on boat traffic considerably and rewards those who are willing to hike, float to out of the way spots.
