The first part of last week the Kenai was closed to the use of bait. Inconsistent best described the fishing. One day there would be a decent bite and the next day was not so good. That all changed when the "no bait" restriction was removed on July 1st. There's no doubt the first day of bait was the best day of fishing to date. Many boats caught multiple king salmon. July 2nd was a good day as well but not quite as hot as the day before.
Pictured above is Tony Brown with a nice 48lb king salmon.
Here's a photo of Greg Maas with a 40lber. It only took him 4 misses before this one finally stayed on the hook.
In between the fishing action the wildlife viewing was great this past week. It's not often that I see a bull caribou on the river but it was as if this one wanted to get it's picture taken. We were in the middle of a troll and this one jumped in the river and swam right in front of our boat.
And, here's a bear track along the river bank next to our dock. That is as much as I want to see of a bear at 5:00 am.
Even though we are in between the first and second run of king salmon, for the week ahead I anticipate the bite to be consistent with a mix of small and large fish.
