Dog Days of July

Fly fishing the Kenai can be real easy or real tough.  The dog days of July are coming, and that’s when things get tougher.  The water temp is in constant fluctuation and the fish are getting conditioned all over again.  That’s alright because they still bite, it’s all about staying on top of things now, lighter lines, better presentations, and consistency.  The fish are in the river and they don’t stop eating it’s just a little tougher to get them to bite, it’s about the small details, so don’t give up on them, just fish smarter and harder.

Kenai River rainbow small fish – big accomplishment

Cassidy Kim fishes just enough to remember some things and not others.  Cassidy decided to try float fishing with a spinning rod, instead of her usual fly fishing.  Cass doesn’t fish often but when she does she fishes with Jason’s Guide Service, not enough to be great just enough to catch fish.  Cassidy is somewhat of a natural with a fly rod, but spinning gear troubles her from time to time.  We fished an afternoon  with the float rods with determination and some laughs we managed to catch some fish. It’s not always the big fish or the most fish that make a great day, sometimes it’s the little fish or the only fish that makes it.  www.jasonsguideservice.com
