Don’t have time to say much. Tate, Myka and I are headed out in an hour to cruise Reserrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords. But I wanted to share this image with all of you, which represents one of the best moments of the trip so far. Got this guy with the spey rod on the Kasiloff a couple days ago. What a blast. Took about 20 minutes. Landed him a hundred yards down the bank and around the corner from where I hooked it. Never had a cheering section while I fought a fish before. Later in the day Tate caught a steelhead on the spey. Myka got to fight dad on the rod as I acted like a salmon. I think people thought I was crazy. Either that or they thought we had it figured out. We only saw three other fish hooked that entire day.
Here you go.
I know the river well. I have fished it many times. A few too many folks for my liking but if you cross the river there is plenty of room to swing a spey rod. Good to see the kids getting into it!
So happy to see this picture… you all are obviously having a GREAT time! Girls, leave some fish up there for the rest of us.
Happy Father’s Day Greg. — J, J, and j
Nice! Used to work near there and got into spey rods too late to make it down to the Kasilof… Great to see kids learning to love rivers.
Tate & Myka you are both awesome, Ricki and I had a great time in New Hampshire, working on the cabins and I fishing for all kinds of species. Hope to see you all soon when you come to Shoreline. Uncle By ! Love you !
The girls read your comment. Said, “Oh, Byron and Ricki. When are we going to see them?” Hopefully soon, I told them. Thanks Byron.
