There has been high water in the middle kenai river the past few days. We finally saw the flood water that has been expected coming from The Harding Ice Field.  Trout on the Kenai have been responding by gathering up in good numbers in select holes throughout the river.  Below is a real nice Kenai River rainbow trout caught on one of today's fly fishing trips.

Nice job Joe on this Kenai rainbow measuring 27' x 17' girth.  This trout literally jumped into the boat!  More stories and pics to come!

August 16th, 2009  Testimonial from Clients that fished in early August:

Just a quick note.  We, my son Brian and I, had a great day this week on the Kenai with Nick.  We landed a number of very good trout the best going 26.5" (the big Dolly's were a bonus).  Nick worked extremely hard and was an excellent guide on the trip.  We will be recommending your guide service to anyone looking for big Kenai bows on the fly and will be contacting you on our next trip.  Thanks again.

Here is a shot with Peggy from Washington and her 29.5 x 17 inch Kenai River Rainbow Trout she caught in the last 10 miutes of the fishing trip.  We were fly fishing when the trout hit her bead.  Nice fish Peggy!

Research and development the past few days for Kenai rainbow trout fishing was good.  Nick, Nigel, Jeremy and some friends hit up various spots throughout the Kenai and here are a few fish we came up with:
