IT'S GETTING COLD.....BUT WHO CARES!

Getting in a few last days of fishing before winter sets in.

This is my friend Luke, and this Rainbow was the fish of the trip. The fish measured about 29 inches.


This time of year the Rainbow fishing is phenominal, but you have to be pretty dedicated to be out in the cold weather all day long.

LATE SEASON FISHING BEGINS

Late fall fishing on the Kenai Peninsula is awesome. It's cold but exhilarating. The Rainbows are gorging on salmon flesh and salmon eggs, fattening up for winter. And the fisherman are fishing as much as possible before everything freezes over.

Doug caught a nice 26" Rainbow which was gently released back in to the water.

And here is a 20" fish, kind of a minnow in this river but nice none the less.
