There are very few things that can immediately quantify the declining value of sport fishing for Kenai River king salmon as quickly as the shelves at Trustworthy Hardware in Soldotna.<\/p>\n

Shelves that once held Kwikfish K16 lures in 75 color combinations \u2014 tailor-made for fishing on the deep-swimming king salmon\u2014 are now crowded with sockeye and silver salmon gear. Newly crafted Kenai River king salmon fishing rods that generated excitement from guides after debuting with new actions and a low-price point sit in rows gathering dust.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guides got real cautious about buying and then of course people are just going to make do with what they have,\u201d said Scott Miller, co-owner of the store. \u201cIf the fishing is not good they\u2019re just not going to go out and buy rods. They\u2019re going to buy fly rods or rods for silvers\u2026 We\u2019re selling more (king salmon rods) in Washington and Oregon now because they\u2019re having a good run of kings.\u201d<\/p>\n
