So much for 07-07-07! We got up at 4:30 a.m. in order to be at the boat dock by 5:30 and in position by 6:00. (Guides can’t be working before 6 or after 6). No rain but about 50 degrees so we wore as many layers as we could and stayed warm. It warmed up to mid-60’s and turned in to a very nice day. DOZENS of boats ON the water but no fish IN the water. We fished an area of the Kenai River near where it comes off Cook Inlet and the Salmon would start their journey up the river to span. We had a good guide and a good spot, just no fish. We fished from 6:00 until 11:30 and didn’t get a nibble. Our neighbor in the RV Park is a Guide so he was out all day with no luck. He said he hadn’t been skunked in 2 years. That would be a really long day. Next week though! So, we headed for the Fish Processing plant and bought 20 pounds of fresh salmon and stuck it in the freezer. $9.95 a pound but less than half of what we would pay in Iowa for Alaska wild salmon, if you can find it.
