Happy new year
Kim and I are now home from the hospital with our daughter Katherine Mary Sager (Kate). The three of us couldn’t be happier. Mom and daughter are healthy and life is good. I hope that everyone had a great New Years this year! It’s been unseasonably warm here in south central Alaska in the last few weeks. I would usually …

Kenai peninsula steelhead fishing
One of my favorite things to do on a day off is to hit up the kenai peninsula steelhead fishing. We have a few hours to drive and catch up after a long fishing season and reflect. We arrive in the parking lot and there are a few anglers still out but not many, get our waders on and hit …
Seward Alaska hiking
I took off on a 3 day trip to Seward Alaska hiking a few days ago. The alpine trail is just a 30 minute boat ride away from the harbor. You can charter a transporter by boat to get you there or if the tides are right you can also hike the shore line around. It is a 6 mile …
Rainbow trout and silver salmon fishing

Kenai river rainbow trout fishing
KENAI RIVER RAINBOW TROUT FISHING! Water levels are falling on the Kenai river now after this falls 100 year flood. I was able to fish many places today that I had not for the last 10 days.

Northern Alaska
I’m in Northern Alaska getting fuel for the treacherous drive south later. We came up to the end of the Dalton highway to explore some fall Arctic char fishing and ran into snow and frozen water. Just a little to late for the trip but it was my only shot at getting out for a few days this year. I’ve …
Kenai river running high
High water on the Kenai river can cause the Rainbow trout fishing to shut down for a few days. Unfortunately the river is out of its banks and there is no fishing at this time. I’ll report back in when fishing resumes. It shouldn’t be to long. I’m taking a few days to go up north and explore some new …
