All I can say is WOW! I feel for those of you who have to get your years supply of fish like that my son included.

Nice pictures Len. I haven't been over there to the falls in a long time. The red's there may be smaller than the Kenai reds, but they are still nice fish, and about twice as big as the little runts in the Kasilof. Looks like you guy's had a fun trip.

That's insane. I could not do it, period.

I dipped the Kenai last week by boat and actually had a blast as it was my first time dip netting. The number of boats was ridiculous but still ended up catching 65 reds and those really are BIG FISH!

Fishing from a boat is the only way to on the Kenai. IMO. I want to take my 10 foot Iinflatable so I don't have to mess with the boat launch.

Mike, you went to Kenai instead of in your back yard down at Chitna? Do they still have the engine restrictions on the river at the lower part where you dipped?

I think it is 4 stroke outboard only. No cc restriction below the bridge.

FT is mostly right, 4 stroke only or direct injection 2 stroke, no max hp.

Well there is a line below the bridge where you can't go with over a 50 horse...river mile 4 ... Can't go above that with a larger than 50 HP..

Scroll down a ways...

Yeah, we were below the bridge, so anything goes down there. Had everything known to man in the river. Guys in ocean boats, thunderjets, etc. I've never dipped in Chitna either so was a learning experience. Will be investing in some dip nets as it was a pretty darn fun way to fish and the girl friend really likes doing it!

The line between the yellow and red is about where the commercial fishing boats quit tying up in the river outside the canneries. Makes sense.

Sloughtrapper#4 are you paying attention? This is one of those places with all those pesky rules that you want to avoid. This place is so bad you need a lawyer with you to interpret the rules.

There is a large billboard type sign at the boundary where the 51+hp boats have to stop. But the fishies are all gone so I wouldn't recommend anyone come down this year.

Feel like I just hit the lottery walked into a store and they had 22 ammo, got my one box lol

Its 80 degrees here OMG! this is to hot!

85 here. Killing me !!

Warming up here, also. God forbid, they are predicting 80 later this week! Glad I bought a new beer 'fridge!

Here is my fish slaying partner this year, she usually only likes to dip net but I got her to go flipping a few weeks ago.



And the fruits of our labor....mmmmm good!!!

Nice!
