Alaska day 19

Met up with Carlos to float the Kenai.

What a day.  Fishing was poor, though we did hook some fish.  But the float was magnificent.  Lost 3 fish. Left at 8 am, and finished at 7 pm. Then went to Quartz creek till 9.15, where I got a Dolly Varden to avoid being skunked.

What a view!!!

There should have been a fish here!!!!

The Kenai in full flow

Alaska day 18

A slow day. Ran into Carlos at the fishing shop, and arranged a float of the Kenai tomorrow. Went to Hope with Grant, to fish without walking. Grant got some pinks, as did I.  Back to the Russian, and got a real dinner for once!
