Fishing Report Week Ending 9/21/14

For most of the week the fishing was really good.   It wasn't until Saturday that the affects of heavy rains finally took a toll on the bite. I had my fingers crossed that the river would stay clear until then but unfortunately it did not.

Above is a photo of the last day that I fished Ron, Rafael, Joe, and Jeff.   A steady bite was a perfect way to end their stay at Beaver Creek Cabins.  It might have been an even better day if Jeff would have left the bananas at home.  Hey guys, I look forward to the next time we can all get together to swap stories and catch a few fish on the Kenai.

On Friday,  for Team ABC Seamless (Team 1), their timing was perfect.   Good water conditions and lots of fish moving through.   From left to right is Travis, Nick, Wally, and Sid.  At the end of the trip Wally told me he contemplated going moose hunting but decided he should go fishing.  He thought his chances for success would be better.   I guess we'll never know how the hunting would have been been but you can't do any better than this on the Kenai in September.

On the flip side, Team 2 of Team ABC Seamless (Robert and Clark), probably wished they were here on Friday rather than Saturday.   Initially, I didn't think any of us thought that way because Robert landed the silver in the photo above within the first five minutes of our day.  It should be noted that this fish completed a trifecta for Robert. This was his first, his biggest, and the most fish he has ever caught.  Anyway, as we settled into the day, and as it got lighter out, I could see that overnight the water color changed had from teal green to brown.   Rats.  Fishing was going to be tough.  Well, at least we enjoyed a day of nice weather and stories.   Thanks again Team ABC Seamless (Team 1 and 2) for doing your annual fall silver trip on the Kenai.

I am not scheduled for any trips until next weekend.   When the water conditions get better there's no doubt Jane and I will be spending time on the water trying to catch a few fish for our own freezer. See you next week.
