It opens up into a lot of country w/ a lot of options, and there are definitely bears back in there. You should take a tent or two and spend a couple of days. Ya got to give it some time. Wouldn't hurt to bring a small caliber for ptarmigan either, there are tons of them up there. At least there used to be. Good luck!

If it makes you feel any better, I snapped a 6wt Sage ($600) on a silly red while beading for bows up high near Coopers Landing. I knew better than trying to land/fight the fish instead of just pointing at it and breaking it off. That was a costly mistake for a red I wasn't even targeting or wanted. Oh, I love Trusty's Hardware! Such a cool place. NOTE: DO NOT rinse any filleted salmon off! Ever. As soon as you introduce water on to the exposed flesh of the salmon, it starts to break down and deteriorate. Guaranteed to not last even if quickly vac-packed and frozen. If you want/need to clean a fillet, let it dry a bit and simply wipe off whatever you want removed with a clean paper towel. As for dunking the fillets in the river - that's just asking for a case of beaver feever (Giardia).

It does kinda look like you may have hooked 191K reds in 1 day. Not gonna lie - pretty jealous. Flipping for reds on the Kenai is some fun stuff. Ok, and the look at 11:33 cracks me up. It's kinda like when you go albacore tuna fishing and after you've brought in the 10th or so tuna and your forearms and hands are cramped in "the claw" position, you toss your anchovie back out and it's bit as soon as it hit the water.

This is at the Gibson Fishing Center. We keep our tip low and even in the water in case the hook comes out. We’re not interested in anyone taking a hook to the eye. Keeping the tip in the water helps absorb the energy from the rod if the line breaks or the hook comes out. We’ve also had pretty good success with bringing fish in with this method, but thanks for weighing in! We are always looking to learn more about!

One of my tarpon guides in the Caribbean told me to almost point the rod right at the fish and just reel. Have the rod held up just enough to put a decent bow into it.

@semi-wild-alaska 18 күн бұрын
This is flossing. We're trying to draw the line and hook across the mouth of the fish. Snagging is when the hook is pulled aggressively through the water to grab the fish wherever - which is illegal on the Kenai river. Sometimes when flossing we accidentally fowl hook the fish - a.k.a. hook it somewhere instead of the mouth, similar to snagging - but we let those fish go.

Thank you for not taking more fish then you need. I’ve watched KZbin channels where people are getting so many salmon that I wonder if they really need that many. This was a fun video and beautiful because of the turquoise colored water in the river. Kate I have a pair of womens wading boots by Simms and I don’t like them. The shoes have zero support and are way too wide for me. I’m in search of a different pair, but all reviews I’ve read on wading boots are terrible. I might just buy a cheap pair at Costco. They have mens wading boots, but a smaller size fit me. Looking forward to your next adventure.

you didn't do well out of valdez? (a few other popular ports basically fish the same general area) What's nice about other places is the charter doesn't make a mega run to get out to the fishing. Valdez charters make a 60-75 mile run before they start fishing. a very good question before booking is to get the boat's cruising speed so your day isn't all travel time.
