Alaska Fish Count App Launches — A Powerful New Tool for Kenai River Anglers

If you fish the Kenai, you already know one truth: the river rewards the anglers who pay attention.
Run timing, tides, water temps, escapement progress — it all matters. And until now, tracking fish counts meant digging through ADF&G PDFs, jumping between pages, or relying on dated charts.

That just changed in a big way.

Meet the Alaska Fish Count App (AFCA)

A brand-new, lightning-fast website that puts every ADF&G salmon count across Alaska into one clean, simple dashboard.

If you’re drifting for kings, flipping for reds, or looking for the first good push of coho, AFCA gives you the kind of data advantage anglers dream about.

Why AFCA Matters for Kenai River Fishing

The Kenai is famous for its big water and big runs. In-season information is everything here — especially when daily counts can jump from 5,000 sockeye to 40,000 overnight.

AFCA helps anglers by offering:

📊 Real-time charts for every Kenai species

  • Early & late-run Chinook

  • Russian & mainstem sockeye

  • Coho from late summer into fall

Charts load instantly on phone or desktop, even with spotty reception.

📅 Historical run timing at a glance

Want to know if the run is early or late? AFCA automatically compares this season to past years.

🗺️ Coverage across the entire ADF&G network

From the Kenai to Bristol Bay, Kodiak, Southeast, and Mat-Su — if counts exist, AFCA charts them.

⚡ Built for guides, locals, and visitors

No accounts. No downloads. No ads (for now). Just pure, fast data.

Designed by an Alaskan Who Fishes the Kenai

AFCA was created by Kevin Bennett, an Anchorage-based designer and life-long Alaskan. The idea came from a simple question we’ve all asked:

“Why isn’t there one place where we can see all the fish counts?”

A year later, that wish turned into one of the most useful tools we’ve seen in Alaska fishing.

How Kenai Anglers Can Use AFCA Today

Here are the ways anglers are already using it this season:

  • Planning weekend sockeye trips based on the last 7 days of counts

  • Watching king numbers as they build toward escapement goals

  • Timing coho pushes at the middle and lower river

  • Tracking Russian River movement during peak red season

  • Studying long-term timing to predict “big days”

Whether you’re a guide, a first-timer, or someone who fishes the Kenai every summer, AFCA becomes part of your daily river routine instantly.

What’s Coming Next

AFCA is growing rapidly, with several new features in development:

  • Year-over-year comparison charts

  • Escapement goal progress bars

  • Species/run summaries for each river

  • Custom “favorites” lists

  • Email/text alerts when counts spike

We’ll keep readers updated here on Kenai-Fishing.com as new tools roll out.
