Cooper Landing is situated with the Kenai River on one side and the Kenai Mountains hovering on the other side. It truly is a beautiful place. The Russian River joins the Kenai here at Cooper Landing and it’s a fishing paradise. We went to the Russian River this afternoon to watch what the locals call “combat fishing”. The river is lined with fishermen in waders about 10 feet apart as far up and down the river as we could see. We drove down the highway and they are fishing absolutely everywhere there is an open spot. The limit is 3 salmon per person and we saw some people carrying coolers that looked heavy (we assumed with fish, not beer) and lots carrying nothing. That’s the way I fish, a cooler of beer and no fish. We didn’t try to fish here, going to wait until we get to Kenai or Soldotna and get a guide. This didn’t look like anyplace for a couple of rookies. Overcast and rainy again today. Saw a Bald Eagle in the top of a dead tree in our campground but too far away for a good picture.
