Three Weeks of Fishing Bliss/Blinn

First of all, sorry for not updating our fishing report more often but the last three weeks have been rather busy....a very good busy. Every other year Gary Blinn organizes an Alaskan adventure for his friends and colleagues. In a weeks time they'll fish the Kenai for silvers, fish the ocean for halibut and silvers, fish the middle/upper Kenai for trout, and do a fly in trip to catch more silvers. Overall the fishing on the Kenai has been very good. Plenty of pink salmon and limits of silver salmon (except for one morning when we were completely shut out of silvers but managed to get a few in the evening). What's been nice is the average size of the silvers have been larger than usual. The largest landed in my boat during the three weeks was a whopping 15lbs. Way to go Danny.



The core of Gary's group have been coming for ten years so it's nice for Jane and I to get reacquainted with old friends and to make new ones. There are too many people to list so not to offend anyone I'll just say thanks to all for making it fun for us, especially the Tex/Mex-seafood night dinners.



One last thought, it was great to see Peter Medchill, Ron Rico, and John and Lars Ohlin. We worked in a few fishing trips when I wasn't out with the Blinn group and also managed to see Hobo Jim one night. Thanks to Jane for putting up with 5 snoring men and a dog all cramped into a one bedroom cabin. I owe you one.



I still have a few weeks of fishing left so check back every once in awhile for a report.
