This post is all about our day of fishing! We got up at the strangely dark hour of 4:00AM. Actually, I got up at 3:45, but who's counting! (I guess I am!) We packed up snacks and lunches, and headed out! It was a bit chilly down on the river, especially when our guide, Ed O'Connor of Advantage Angling sped down the Kenai River! It didn't take too long for our activity to make us forget about our lack of bundling up! We started on the Silver Salmon on the lower part of the river. It was a blast!
We stopped during one point to watch an Osprey dive down into the water after fish! Then, the Bald Eagle came over to see what was going on!
Suffice it to say, we had an amazing morning catching the Silvers! Ed took us to this bank where the fireweed was in bloom for this very scenic photo!! Too bad Pat had to miss this!
Since the morning was only half gone, we headed up river and began our Rainbow Trout fishing! I told Marc that this proved he was a real sport fisherman, since this was all catch and release! We loved the joy these fish gave us in the catch and we were able to send them back to hopefully give someone else the same joy!
I thought this was a big one!! Just wait!
Marc held the record for biggest fish for a long time! Katy and I caught more, but his 25-incher was a fun time!
This is what I'm talking about! Did I mention this was one of my "bucket-list" items to do in Alaska?
Katy did awesome! Marc had a great time taking her picture with her monster trout!
This was the final gigantic 'bow that I had only dreamed of! This was the best fishing trip I have ever been on! The only flaw was that Pat missed out! I would have loved to see his face while I fought this guy into Ed's net! He was a brute! The most beautiful brute! I'm so thankful that Marc and Katy came to take me out to fish with them!!
