Here is another scene of the people fishing the Eklutna Tailrace.
Ease of access from Anchorage and the Mat-Su combined with potentially
great fishing has already led to sizable crowds that will only increase
as the King run matures. Already the vegetation along the tailrace
channel has been trampled.
It will be interesting to see what the future of the Tailrace will
be. For now it looks like it will become the equivalent of the Homer
Spit fishing hole for the Anchorage area. The nature of the tailrace
is not a wilderness experience, but it is a place you can swing by
and try to fill a cooler. Or slowly empty one over a day of fishing.
