Uff da, part two.
This past week was a lot like the previous week. Long days on the water with only a few willing biters to be found. Patience was the key word. Luckily, the people who were with me had plenty of it.
The first group of the week, Jim, Rob, and Tony, were newcomers to the Kenai River. I had a lot of fun getting to know the three of them.
The second group of the week welcomed Martin, Chris, and Jake. They are regulars and have been coming to our place for nine years. I know them well. I always enjoy their company in my boat.
With the introductions being over, it’s time to move on to the photos of the week.
Here’s Tony starting the trip off with a dandy silver salmon.
Jim followed that up with another beautiful silver salmon.
Even though this silver salmon escaped the clutches of a harbor seal, it couldn’t get away from Rob.
Jim with his limit.
On Friday, Martin started the morning off with a nice silver salmon.
Chris was next.
Jake followed with the last silver salmon of day. I find it really satisfying to be part of three generations catching fish on the Kenai River. It never gets old.
The above photo continues the trend of strange and unusual happenings on the Kenai River in 2024. Chris caught an ocean bright, red salmon on Friday the 13th. I was shocked to see a red salmon of this quality so late in the season.
On Saturday, Martin once again caught the first fish of the day.
Later that morning, Jake caught the last silver salmon of the day. The top photo happened on 9/14/24, and the bottom photo on 7/28/2017. Clearly, Little Jake is now Big Jake…
My guiding season is nearing the end and next week is the last of the scheduled clients. Come back to the blog on Sunday to see if we end with a bang or a whimper.
