They're getting like weeds around here! Fish, notsomuch.

Having not fished there I can't tell you the hot bait, but no doubt Jenna is right. As far as quickies, you can fish them many ways. Sometimes the bigger ones can be flatlined and do extremely well. I have done that quite well on long flat backtrolls from 6 to about 15 feet. Flatlining a K15...

Now now. Play nice. They're baaaaack! Dare I is say it? There are early pairings and hatches going on all over the river. They certainly are in love.

Got goosed! Huge rain storm presently but the river actually looks very fishy today!

This equipment is larger than it seems. They brought it up late today.

River is back to low. Quite a few people out and trying but few fish are around. Can say that because the furbags aren't bothering. Still... Hoping for the pot o gold.

Les Anderson owns the Ford dealership in Soldatna on the Kenai. The fish is mounted there. Kenai chinook turn red early like Tillamook fish. They taste like fall chinook. A guy named Pat Plautz from Hillsboro caught the second biggest in the mid90s that weighed over 96 pounds. Sadly few of...

It has dropped quite a bit, about like the second set of photos I posted. And although it is still stained, it could fish. Saw a few boats out and frank ly I would have been out today just to enjoy the day iffn I wasn't still lamed up. Sometimes days like today or tomorrow are really good days...

Not much change today from two mornings ago, except for the addition of a lonely boater. The river peaked yesterday...

Yeah, I bet... update for 1/30; She'll be rolling down the mountain when she comes... no ducks yet, but the rise is on. Always fascinating to watch the bottomland disappear...

And I hope you killed that one! They are voracious eaters of young salmonoids.

Update for 1/28/13 The latest turn is starting. Overnight the river came up and there is a noticeable gray slate hue to the color this morning... Notice how much more water is going through at the top of the island from the first post. Lots of boats out over the weekend though most were...

Nice bass! :-) The resident furbags have been working out back. So far I have only been able to confirm steelhead kills, plus I saw one (Californian, not Stellar) with a sturgeon about a week ago. When the gulls are agitated, it is time to get the scope on the water.

Flame retardants can come with the flames. That stuff usually fizzles as people figure out they really aren't that far apart. In fact it seems many times get into violent agreements! They just don't realize it and if not usually in time people can agree to disagree and move on. What I couldn't...

Well, pictures like the above only with a couple of ducks in them :naughty: caused such a ruckess it resulted in choosing not to be on the board that used to get them for almost two years now. Guess I figured it was time to do a little hopping. :cool:
