He identified them in East Finger Lake and had his conclusion verified by biologists at the University of British Columbia. A couple of years later he con- ducted a study to determine why these char were a common catch in the fall, winter and spring sport fish- eries but were seldom seen in the summer. In East Finger Lake 89% of his char catches in vertical gill nets were taken in water 55° or colder. During the summer, Arctic char frequent the deeper waters where there is adequate oxygen and cold water. This requirement ex- plains why Arctic char contribute little to the summer sport fishery.

KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Soldotna, Alaska ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1991 U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM INTRODUCTION The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is situated on the Kenai Peninsula in southcentral Alaska. The northern portion of the Refuge is only 20 air miles from the State's largest population center, the City of Anchorage. Although a scenic 112-mile drive through the Kenai Mountains is necessary to reach the wildlife Refuge via road, commercial commuter aircraft fly into Kenai and Soldotna daily from Alaska's largest city, 60 air miles north. Located within the center of the Kenai Peninsula and extending 115 miles from Turnagain Arm on the north to nearly the Gulf of Alaska on the south, this Refuge encompasses about one-third of the Peninsula. The western portions of the Kenai Mountains generally form the eastern Refuge boundary, a common boundary shared with our Chugach National Forest and Kenai Fjords National Park neighbors. Since the establishment of the Refuge on December 16, 1941, under E.O. 8979, these lands have undergone at least two boundary changes and a name change.
