What a crazy week.
Tuesday was my last day of catch and release king fishing and the action was outstanding. The boat managed 4 kings with a couple of more fish lost after a brief fight. It was George, Jerry, Justin, Leonard, and Clifford who wanted to fish for the famed Kenai kings. I do appreciate that they wanted to do this even though they couldn't keep any of the fish.
Here's a nice king released to continue it's journey.
And, here is the last king caught and released in my boat for the 2012 king season. Long live the kings!
Our focus the rest of the week was on the red salmon fishery. Fishing was not too good early in the week on the lower Kenai river. A few fish were caught but it wasn't the classic "my arms are tired" red fishing that I'm use to. That all changed on Friday. Pictured above is Al, Gale, Dan, and Devin after a fun morning on the bank.
The limit on Saturday went from 3 to 6 red salmon and for a good reason......there are a lot of fish in the river. Didn't take too long for Justin, Stacy (the Slayer), George, and Glenn to get their fish.
The week ahead should be more of the same. Lots of reds and lots of tired arms.
Tight lines!

Nice to see you're not a one method Pete. Way to adapt to the conditions and make your clients happy.

Keith and Jane:
Thanks so much for another exciting week at Beaver Creek. My family,extended family and friends will cherish the times we've spent with you and Jane. Thank you Keith for your patience and persistence in providing all the experiences available on the Kenai River... and Jane for your kindness and hard work in providing us with the perfect place to stay. Justin and I were happy to be members of the red slayers and happy to release those two kings with the hope that our children and grandchildren and those to follow will have the same opportunities that we've had.
