Fishing on the Kenai Penisula

---

When we got to Anchorage, we met up with old friends of Ed's from the Wailer's. Noel and Sue Janda have a beautiful home that they invited us to stay at. When we arrived, we found out we were headed out early the next morning for fishing. We went down to the Kenai Penisula and met up with some of thier friends. JB took us out on his boat trolling for King salmon. We did not have any luck, but the river was beautiful. There were numerous Bald Eagles. When we got back to shore, JB taught me how to use a fly rod.
The next morning, Ed and Noel went out on a boat with Ron to "set net". The locals are allowed to "net" fish for a one week period. It was very rough. I was not able to go out in the mud, to get into the boat. The boat was a commercial boat, and too unstable for me. They caught over 75 fish. We got the boat back and they fileted all of the fish. We did not get home until after 2am. It was summer solstice, so it never got really dark. What an incredible fishing trip!
