点评:I was booked for the canyon float trip on the upper Kenai R. but there was a Sockeye Salmon glut on the upper river when I was there. Tyler (best guide ever!) called me the day before, explained the situation, and suggested we fish the middle Kenai R. for "monster" Rainbow Trout. He wasn't kidding about that! Tyler knows the river and our target species. We started catching Rainbows and Dolly Varden as soon as we started fishing. The Willie boat we fished from was stable and maneuverable. The 10' Sage 7 wt rods were perfect for what we were doing, although I found the long leader and heavy split shot sinkers hard to cast. I don't think I ever did what I would call an adequate cast with it. We caught a lot of trout! Some of them pretty large, too. And a couple got away. They were super hard fighters! Tyler drifted us through some great looking runs late in the day and I hooked a true river monster! Tyler and Alaska River Adventures are the best. I hope to fish with them again someday.
翻译:我预定了基奈河上游的峡谷漂流之旅,但我去的时候,上游的红鲑鱼过剩了。泰勒(我见过最好的导游!)前一天给我打电话,解释了情况,并建议我们去基奈河中游钓“巨型”虹鳟。他可不是开玩笑!泰勒了解这条河和我们的目标鱼种。我们一开始钓鱼就钓到了虹鳟和多莉·瓦登鳟。我们用的那艘威利船稳定且易于操控。10英尺长的Sage 7磅鱼竿非常适合我们的钓法,不过我觉得长前导线和重型分体铅坠很难抛投。我觉得我从来没有用它做过什么称得上合格的抛投。我们钓到了很多鳟鱼!有些还很大。还有几条鱼逃走了。它们真是顽强的斗士!当天晚些时候,泰勒带我们漂流到了一些景色优美的河道,我钓到了一条真正的河中巨兽!泰勒和阿拉斯加河流探险公司真是太棒了。我希望有一天能再次和他们一起钓鱼。
