Spring Salmon Fly Fishing on the Tay on the Benchil beat below Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland using a G Loomis NRX fly rod and a Skagit fly line. Unfortunately this was not a spring salmon but a Kelt.

fatbellytraveler asked:

The fine taste of the King Salmon, fresh from today’s catch is like no other fish. All the fishermen onboard know and the action gets a little frantic when it is time to land the beautiful fish. The waters off the coast of Northern California have been rich in the Salmon that gourmets love and that supplies valuable nutrition for the body. As a fished is hooked shouts of “fish on” are heard and the chaos of landing it often involve the skipper, mate and other fishermen. With more than one fish online at a time the action is fast and furious. When the limit of 2 fish per person the boat heads back to the harbor early “limited out” and full of happy people. The coast is beautiful and the sea mercifully and unusually calm.

Do you love fishing? Have you heard of the Kenai River in Alaska? Kenai River fishing is an angler’s dream come true, truly the mother lode of salmon fishing. The river runs a spectacular 82 miles, from Kenai Lake in southern Alaska to the Pacific Ocean, at Cook’s Inlet.

From early May, until somtime in mid-October, the Kenai Peninsula, a reasonable three hours south of Anchorage, provides fly fishing adventures you may never forget.

The salmon varieties that can be found here include the King, Sockeye, Silver and Red, each with two runs a year. And, as if that wasn’t enough to keep you busy, Kenai River fishing offers Steelhead, Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden.

If you are truly addicted to fly fishing, the Kenai River peninsula is heaven on earth. The largest salmon ever caught in the world was a 97-pound King Salmon, in 1985. Enthusiastic fishermen flock to the Kenai Peninsula, hoping to best this record. A typical catch is forty pounds! It doesn’t get much better than that.

The following is a brief unofficial schedule of the Kenai River fishing season, to help you plan your vacation!

Around the middle of June, there’s one run of the Red Blueback salmon, followed by another in the middle of July. If you like smoked salmon, you’ll want to be fishing now, as the Red variety is the king of smoked salmon. Reds are also highly prized for the grill, as well as canning.

Also running in mid-June and mid-July are the King salmon. While other rivers in Alaska yield more fish, the King salmon of the Kenai river are known for their great size. A typical catch in the second run is 40-50 pounds. Don’t be surprised to net a King of a larger size!

Kenai River fishing offers two runs of Silver salmon, one in early August and another in late September. The larger catches are usually found in the September run.

If all of this isn’t enough to whet your appetite, the Kenai River yields trophy sized Dolly Varden and Rainbow trout.

If time permits, your vacation plans should include a visit to Cook’s Inlet. Here you will want to take time for a deep-sea excursion of Kachemak and Resurrection Bays, where the giant bottom-dwelling halibut live. An Alaskan record-sized halibut of 466 pounds was caught in Kachemak Bay!

Add to that a little drive just 30 miles from Kenai to Clam Gulch, a popular destination for clamming. Razor clams are abundant here. As the name implies, their shells are sharp, so be careful! Best digging times are when the tide is at minus two feet or lower. Check with the Department of Fish and Game for local limits.

As you might guess, accommodations are plentiful in the area along the Kenai River. You’ll find fully furnished cabins all along the river, with excellent guided fishing tours. Travelers come from all over the world to experience a Kenai River fishing vacation. Be sure you book ahead! It’s an experience you won’t forget. Bon Appetit!
