Alaska 2009

We spent the first couple of days on Quartz creek. We fished at the campground and in the multiple pull offs on the Hwy1. The reds were spawning everywhere and the bead fishing was hot. I stopped counting at 50 fish about 1 o'clock the first day. The second evening we had an even better time above the campground catching rainbows and dollies with doubles and triples very common.









Next we spent a couple days on the Kenai, we floated the river twice with Kenai River Fly Fishing. The guide we floated with was great. He had us on pigs both days. This is a must do for anyone going to Alaska in my opinion. I got to say all the guys were outfished by my nephews girlfriend. She tore up the rainbows with 4 over 24 inches.



















We the spent a few days on the Anchor, Ninilchik and Deep Creek fishing for Silvers. We caught just three fish as these rivers were high and muddy. This made seeing the silver pods difficult. We decided to head back to Quartz for more Dolly and Rainbow fishing.

Next, we headed for the Russian river to finish out our trip and founds lots of fish and lots of bears. I mean this place was eat up with bears. I had never seen a grizzly up close in my life. By the time I left the Russian river I had seen over twenty within 75 yards. It was funny, they would move up the river and the fishermen would move out of the holes. The bears would move in. When the bears left, the fishermen would move back in. It went on like that all evening.















This was our best trip yet, We hit the trout fishing at just the right time. The salmon fishing was not great, but we probably could have given the streams a couple days and headed back south after they cleared up. The trout fishing was just to good to take that chance.
