ADF&G Kenai River Emergency Orders & Status (2027)

Stay up to date with the latest ADF&G emergency orders for the 2027 season. We monitor sonar count limits and restrictions to ensure you remain fully compliant on the water.

How EOs Impact Your Trip

Biologists issue emergency orders (EOs) in real time to increase or decrease bag limits, close targeting, or restrict tackle based on daily sonar counts.

Where to Check Status

Check the ADF&G Northern Kenai Emergency Orders portal daily or consult with a licensed guide who receives compliance bulletins.

Tackle Limitations on the Kenai

Many EOs restrict tackle to unbaited, single-hook artificial flies or lures. Slikok Creek, Funny River, and Killey River zones have special rules.

Plan Your Alaska Float

Drifting the Kenai River or the quiet Kasilof is an unforgettable experience. Let our professional team handle the gear, coordinates, safety, and guiding.
