Kenai River

Friday, August 26, 2005
Just arrived home from our stay on the Kenai river. The Kenai Peninsula is a beautiful place. Our friends invited us to stay with them at their boss's cabin. The setting was great; 15 miles up the river from Soldotna in a very private setting. We had our own private fishing spot that was great. I had not been successful fishing all summer; but an old man on the dock taught me what to do...
He actually came over, cast out 3 times and caught a fish. Pretty impressive considering I had been unsuccessful for the past hour. After spending some time with him over the next hour, I was able to catch a fish about every 15 minutes. Not bad...since the salmon weren't really running this week.
Felt bad for our friends though...Carl never caught anything the whole time besides one tiny smolt (baby salmon).
Have posted some pictures here...
