The Red Salmon run in the Kenai River is slow at best, the last two days I have not been able to land a fish. The crowds have swelled along with the water level, last week it wasn't hard to find a place to fish alone and now there are people fishing everywhere. The predicted peak run is usually between the 15th and 17th. To date we have 46 Reds in the freezer along with some Halibut steaks from our friends Bob & Suzie.
It has also been a sad week because we said goodbye on Monday to fellow Wisconsin travelers Doug and Rose who are beginning their travel back home and goodbye to Bob and Suzie who are continuing their travels today.
Yesterday after a 5 hour fishing expedition at the "pipeline" and a short nap we took the dogs to a beach between Kasilof and Clam Gultch for an outing, the Boys love the time on the beach and ran and waded. On our way home we stopped at Johnson Lake State Campground and let the Boys swim to clean the beach sand out of their hair, they had fun fetching sticks and swimming.
At 6:00 p.m. we met Bob & Suzie for supper at Frozo's Restaurant in Soldotna
www.frososfamilydining.com/ for a nice supper and visit. On our way home we checked the fishing at Big Eddy and then it was back home for R & R.
I forgot to mention I saw 3 moose on my drive fishing yesterday morning at 4:00 a.m. between Kasilof and Soldotna.
Thanks for checking our blog and check back often for more Alaskan adventures.
