Wow, tomorrow is November. I spent every day on the Kenai River from July 15 to October 18, so please excuse the fact that the blog has been silent. I have lots of material to share, so I am planning to run a number of posts about the season past. I have recently arrived back in Great Falls Montana [...]

Nicole and Jenny have Alaska roots that brought them back to the Kenai for a day of fishing. The sockeye run is still strong, so we set them up on the fish and let them go at it.
After Stacy and I got done with the party with Nicole and Jenny, we decided to go for [...]

JoelZ, Keno, and Phil (aka the Bear) joined me for the annual July sockeye fest with a few hours spared for rainbows and some tasty riverside treats.
The bears have been fun to watch [...]

We are covered in Sockeye. The limit has been increased to 6 as the Russian River has already received escapement. Today, we saw a moose on the way to the river, had a black bear in a tree at the landing, filled the boat with sockeye and watched a brown bear on the [...]

My goal this spring has been to spend a week with my boat (Monday through Friday) fishing on the Missouri. Up to now, most of my time has been a few hours here and there alone, on a quick trip with friends or a short trip with my family. The few full days I have [...]

My friends Bob and Ian McDonald don’t mind fishing in the winter. Here is one reason why. Fish of this magnitude are nearly impossible to land in heavy current. Cold water and slow winter flows make it possible, though still never easy. Congrats boys.

Here are some excerpts from Stacy’s message to me from Baja.
Howdy,
Just wanted to send a few pictures from our latest trip to Baja. The weather was unseasonably warm, which made the fishing unusually good.
I was sitting under that sun shade sipping a pacifico, about ready
to wind in my 100 ft. of fly line that [...]
