Travel Haiku - Crooked Creek King Salmon (Alaska) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

crooked creek
the salmons return
straight

crooked creek
the upped salmon bends
to and fro

Crooked Creek King Salmon
wow, do they ever know
hunger?

Crooked Creek
his cheers the weight of
the upped king salmon

Crooked Creek
the salmon goes home/return
straight

Summer marks the height of the fishing season on the Kenai Peninsula, a 9,000-square-mile region in southern Alaska known as The Kenai. Temperate and easily accessible, the region attracts anglers and campers alike. Cast a line at the confluence of Crooked Creek and the Kasilof River, where the king salmon range from 20 to 40 pounds, meander along the Kenai Canoe Trails, or fly to a remote lake in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
