We were not let down. And bite they did, on every pass, as we drifted beads and flesh of every variety in front of their beautiful speckled heads. Silvers showed too, hitting flesh flys with gusto, even though they were late in the spawn phase.
Clear skies one minute, fog the next, but little wind made the conditions perfect overall. Off the water now, waiting for another year to pass to do it all over again. These fish get under your skin. Here are just some of the highlights! Uli was in the German exchange group with me more than 25 years ago, and this was his first visit to American since that time. Day 1, our mission was King Salmon, and Killian caught one on the first drop of his line into the water many thanks to the help from Jillian who saw the pole bend completely down and took it from the holder to give to Killian.
In the end we miraculously succeeded and put the fish in the net, jubiliation followed! Uli would follow with a nice King a couple days later, one that would show him the strength and agility of these fish, making him work for his dinner right to the end! Lachse, spielen, essen und so viele lernen von einander. More than 68, Sockeye Red Salmon entered the Kenai River today and swam past the sonar counter just upriver from our house.
The Sockeye run is in full force now and the fishing is incredible once again. More to come on the Red reports for after we get some sleep. And, action it was! Summer is in full swing once againβ¦let the fun begin!
Photo to come later. Here we go againβ¦Red Fever will be hitting the shore any moment! Urs hat ein grossem Lachs gefunden, aber diesem starkem Lachs hat die Linie sofort gebrochen! Am die letze Morgen hat nur Roland genug Energie wieder zu Fischen, aber nach ein Dolly Varden, und ein Rainbow, hat er nur eine Chance mit ein grossem Lachs zu spielen, und diesem Lachs hat das fishhook sofort gebrochenβ¦ach so, viele Abenteure hatten wir. Wunderspass mit unserer gute Freunde aus der Schweiz, wir werden diesem Zeit zusammen nie vergessen.
