Jack Beer was #1 last week
My lap top died just before my guiding season started and getting a new build sent to Alaska took several weeks. Then it took time to get it set up and rolling. Extra time and summer fishing do not mesh. For now, I can finally word process again without relying solely on my Blackberry. I still need to find a hot spot for posting, but there are a couple nearby options. Its summer time and I am busy, busy, but I will try to get back to regular postings unless the fishing gets in the way, which is really the point of it all. I got an email message from someone who said they would not book a trip with us, because we don’t maintain the fishing report, so we must not care. That’s ironic, because maintaining the fishing report would be much easier if we were not busy every day and focused 100% on the experience of our guests. My goal is to post updates as conditions change, and they are changing now.
Water on the Upper Kenai is 5,380 cfs. It’s still exceptionally clear. There is a flow of blush upriver sockeye mixed with a few chromers. We expect a big influx of brighter fish immediately if not sooner. The lower Kenai is full of sockeye and water conditions are good. The river flow below Skilak Lake is 10,700 cfs with just a slight greenish color to the water. Fish are still visible along the edges as they pour upstream. The flow at Soldotna is 11,500 cfs and water color is good with a normal glacial tint. So far, over 800,000 sockeye have passed the counter at river mile 19. Fish On!
