1	The peaks of these runs generally occur midway between the time periods outlined, except for the second Kenai River king salmon run, which is late July.
2	There may be Emergency Closures for conservation or other restrictions on all of these fisheries. However, those which are most likely to occur are on both Kenai River king salmon runs, both Russian River sockeye salmon runs, and late run Kenai River sockeye salmon. In 1997 both Kenai River coho salmon runs were closed due to management.
