Dave,

Go to this site: http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3 and read two current threads, one on the 50 hsp. debate and the other on the Kenai's impaired status, for more information on the river's pollution, Web sites, data, and much, much more.

The only "commercial" fishing boats on the Kenai River are the in-river charter boats ( read "guides"). Commercial gill-netters are at times anchored in the lower two miles or so of the river, but they use diesel, which leaves an entirely different signature in water-pollution readings.

Would really like to hear the KeenImd weigh in on this one, since he fishes the river avidly.
