My friend and I were trying to figure out close-to-home ways to use the boat--other than lakes.

Tonight, I'm looking at the regs and trying to figure out if putting the yak in the Arm outside the mouth of Bird Creek is legal for silvers.

Someone got the quick answer to that?

Also going up Placer Creek on the high tide was a thought, but another buddy said that the danger of fast jet-boaters around blind turns in the skinny water turns him off from that place altogether.

I'm trying to think of things I can do after work, catch lots of big fish, and not have to drive far (you know...the impossible).  :-)

If you get that one figured out let me know. I am driving from Wasilla so I have the joy of an extra hour of driving not to mention the extra gas. I was thinking of WG this weekend but weighing the time/gas I don't know. I can catch salmon  and a boat full of trout pretty close to home but I would like to keep a halibut boated this year.

Sounds interesting.  Another possible location is the mouth of Ship Creek.  I hear boat's launch there. I'd peddle into the mouth of the river and up as far as the shore casters will allow.  when the tide starts flowing out and clear water becomes more available, I bet you hit fish.  But then, why not fish it form shore?

Another interesting piece of Intel that would be cool is how far do you have too go up twenty mile before you run into the clearer tributaries you can fish silvers out of?   The jet boat situation there scares me a bit as well.

Twenty mile is your best bet for uncrowded fishing.  Its about 2 miles up to the first clear water slough that can hold silvers.

Can you get there with a kayak if you catch the tide? 

I've paddled/pedaled from Cunningham park to beaver cr hole upstream on the Kenai as the tide came in. That's a couple of miles at least I think.
