点评:I fished two full days for trout with Kenai River Trout Anglers in early August. There were a number of salmon in the river, but this was not the peak season for trout. The first day was a shared boat with three other anglers, and we fished a section above the Kenai NWR. The next day, I had a private boat and fished the section of the Kenai River immediately below where I fished the previous day within the refuge. The first day was very poor fishing and we only netted a total of 3 trout, none larger than 14 inches. The second day was fantastic fishing, and I caught 25 to 30 trout with rainbow trout and dolly varden up to 24 inches in length. The guide on my second day, Brandon, was the best fishing guide I have ever had. His knowledge of the river was incredible. For example, he recommended that we put on at 6am to beat other guides to the first hole. Sure enough, less than 10 minutes after we claimed that outstanding site, the next guide boat drifted by. Brandon was always attentive to my line frequently changing the bead, setting height of the indicator and weight to optimize the presentation to the trout. I never would have had such an outstanding day without the expertise of Brandon. I plan to return for another trip.
翻译:八月初,我和基奈河鳟鱼垂钓者一起钓了整整两天的鳟鱼。河里有很多鲑鱼,但那时并非鳟鱼的旺季。第一天,我们和另外三位垂钓者共乘一艘船,在基奈国家野生动物保护区上游的一段水域垂钓。第二天,我租了一艘私人船,在前一天我钓鱼地点下方的基奈河保护区内垂钓。第一天的收获很差,我们总共只捕到了3条鳟鱼,每条都不超过14英寸(约35厘米)。第二天的垂钓体验非常棒,我钓到了25到30条鳟鱼,其中包括虹鳟和体长可达24英寸(约60厘米)的多莉·瓦登鳟。第二天的向导布兰登是我遇到过的最好的垂钓向导。他对这条河的了解令人难以置信。例如,他建议我们早上6点出发,以便抢在其他向导之前到达第一个洞。果然,在我们到达那个绝佳的地点后不到10分钟,下一艘向导船就漂过来了。 Brandon 总是关注我的鱼线,频繁更换鱼珠、调整指示器高度和重量,以便更好地吸引鳟鱼。如果没有 Brandon 的专业指导,我永远不会拥有如此精彩的一天。我计划下次再来。
