Kenai River September Fishing At It's Finest!

Alaska Fishing Adventure

It's Fall in Alaska, which can only mean one thing to me, Big Fat Rainbows! Fall is usually thought of as Big Brown time but up here in Alaska big Rainbows, Silvers and Dolly varden's all reign supreme.

It was time again for me to head back to Alaska in the Chugash Mtn range and have my Pal Colin and Drifter show me where the fish were at and they absolutely did not disappoint. Another trip to remember for sure and besides incredible fishing we had immaculate weather, spectacular scenery and good friends to hang out with for a fun week of fishing!

Alaska Fall Fishing, Big Bow Bound!

Time To Head Back To AK Again For Some Big Bows, Salmon, Steelhead and Dolly's!

It's been a trip I've been waiting on all Summer for and it's it's finally here. The question that's been pondering me is, did I bring enough rods : 5wt, 6wt, 2 7wts, and an 8wt? Did I buy enough 0X, 1X and fly lines for the water we're fishing? Did I remember to buy my license and most importantly, place the dang thing within reach since I somehow misplaced it last time and you guessed it...got hit with a ticket! Not letting that happen again while out on the Kenai.

We're fishing some small creeks, the mighty Kenai, maybe some inlet areas and who knows where else, can't complain really where we go I'm just letting my Pal from Anchorage show me to the promise land!

I think I should have enough flies this time as I made sure to bring a little of everything. Being a streamer guy and loving the big stuff I brought along a few too many fly boxes just in case. What about Eggs you ask? You better believe I got em and just about every color needed. As they say, the planning is half the fun, true but with my planning the danger always exist for me to enter the Troutdawg dungeon with no clue how to get around. With so much chaos ensuing from flies all over the place, different reels with varying lines, who knows what I have?? I guess it's better to have more than not enough as long as I don't accidentally use a 6wt 500 grain Teeny line hoping to use as floating line. Will definitely report to you when I get back, expect Mucho Pics!!
