Did a quick trip down the Kenai peninsula last week. Dropped a line in Anchor river for a bit and pulled out a dime bright silver salmon for the grill. View attachment 428348

Nice, ever fish the steelhead run down there?

That's actually why I went. I have caught a few over the past few years. The picture below was last years. But then, of all the things I crammed in my truck I completely forgot my waders. So I couldn't cover a lot of the water like I usually do for steelies. The pools I did hit only gave up this one and a few other silvers and dark pinks chasing my lure.

We used to hit it pretty regularly when we lived in Kenai. I’ve melted a lot of ice out of my guides!
 
Had a fun day yesterday. These two and several more of the same size. Trying to take advantage of the last couple of weeks before we have to put the boat away for the season.

When do the Steelies run there? Would love to do a trip at a time when i could combine a few species.

I always fished it in the fall, but be prepared, it can be cold! I’ve caught them casting around ice flows at times.

Mid September until the end of October when the season closes is your best bet for Anchor river, Deep Creek and Ninilchik river steelhead. And like @WAB said you may be dealing with ice in October. I too have had guides and lures ice up while dodging chunks of the stuff coming downstream.
 
Had a good day with the redfish in Flamingo on Florida Bay this past week. Caught a few on just about everything we threw at them.

The wind has been blowing here for a month. When the wind is up the best option this time of year is to walk the shorelines of the miles of Everglades canals we have down here for some peacock bass sight fishing. Lots of 2-4lb-ers on beds right now that are willing to bite anything that drops in front of them..

Southeast Florida really has a lot to offer when it comes to a variety of fishing opportunities. If it wasn't for all of the traffic, overpopulation, and nasty people, it would be a nice place to live... It used to be 25 years ago.

That’s so awesome. Florida is one of my dream fishing destinations. So much for the angler there.
I just spent 7 hours sitting on three feet of ice and only had 1 perch to show for it!
 
Had a nice morning on the shallow reefs off Ft. Lauderdale. Cero mackerel and mangrove snappers dominated the action....

I have a daughter that loves to fish. We have dragged all over the state searching new species to catch. This is her first ever-yes I had it mounted for her. Also a guided trip to lake Powell for stripers and a backpack trip we did to catch grayling in the uintah mountains. My favorite-strawberry reservoir cutthroats under a bobber in the fall. Fishing is one of the things we still do regularly together

I had no idea that grayling lived that far south. Learn something new every day. Lake Powell is one of my many fishing bucket list destinations!

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
