Fishing in the Southern Kenai Peninsula and Lower Cook Inlet has begun to slow down. Much of Southcentral Alaska is under a flood watch until tomorrow night, as heavy rains continue the region’s cool summer into next week. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game reported that fishing for coho salmon should improve in northern Kenai Peninsula rivers, while fishing for sockeye salmon has slowed in the Kenai River. The Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas project has long promised to bring North Slope natural gas to Nikiski for export to Asia, but last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that buyers in Japan and South Korea don’t plan to make investments or sign contracts.
