Kenai DIY
Spent a week chasing fish North and South, East and West with nothing but a gazetteer and a 10 year old guide book to steer by. A few swings and misses but plenty of fish (thank God for pinks!) and a fun time was had by all. A balky camera battery and lots of rain made for fewer photo ops than desired. Drive down from ANC to Moose Pass was wet and cloudy
Streams we tried were high and silty and we'd given up all hope, till we found it
tide was right for fish pushing up from the arm
and we found a nice stretch for ourselves (expected combat and was pleasantly surprised - that'd come later); lots of pinks, some bright and some decidedly humped, plenty of fun on a 6wt (which got busted)
my partners had never caught grayling so we hiked up to a lake that supposedly held them
got a few rainbows and were entertained by a flock of loons that joined us but no grayling so we continued on another mile
paydirt; nothing huge but grayling nonetheless and their itch was scratched
