I wore sitka’s storm front gore tex on this trip into the high country of Utah for 7 days and stayed comfortable. Good clothing can be the difference in a successful memorable trip and a miserable trip that you’d like to forget. If you’re ready to invest in some great clothing be sure to check out sitka. I don’t have anything bad to say about the product.

This is on the Seward Highway just outside of Moose pass headed towards seward.

Road construction at Ptarmigan creek just outside of moose pass slowed us up a little this morning. I always leave at least a half hour early to allow for construction in Alaska. You can bet with the short season to work on the roads that you will run into some construction at some point on your trip.
Enjoy and you will not be able to help from seeing beautiful sites like these along the route from sterling Alaska to Seward Alaska 
Kenai river sockeye Salmon fishing is excellent right now and if you are in need of a guide service give us a call right away. We offer both full day and half day guided sockeye salmon fishing trips. I also have both power boat and drift boats to fish out of. For sockeye salmon fishing on the Kenai river I prefer the use of the power boat though. This allows us to be more mobile in search of a less crowded and productive gravel bar. If you are interested in beating the crowds and fishing on one of my most productive spots, give us a call at 907-382-6808 or check us out online at www.driftingonthefly.com 
Prepping gear and making sure that you have a clean boat at the start of the day is a very important part of my job. After a long day on the river there is still many hours of work to do for the next days fishing trip. I often say that promising fish is a disaster waiting to happen but promising a clean boat, top of the line gear and an ambition to find fish will make the day come together.
If this is something you expect from your guide service Give us a call at 907-382-6808 or check us out at www.driftingonthefly.com 
In Soldotna Alaska there are a few places I would recommend hanging out after a day of rainbow trout fishing and saint Elias brewing company is one of them. I’ll keep you posted on what going on with the Kenai river fishery as well.

We are still a few days away from the big push of second run of reds (sockeye salmon). On average the reds usually hit the river in big numbers by the 15th of July so our hopes of filling the limit aren’t way up there but we know with a little work that we get close to a limit anyways.
We ended up picking up a couple fish today but we had to work for every one of them! Pulling into the gravel bar we did encounter this bald eagle feeding on a fresh carcass. As we got closer the eagle took off at the last second and flew away. Every time I See an Eagle go into flight close like this it wows me. How a bird this large can fly so easy?
I’m sure that the sockeye will hit the river any day with the predictions of the run as high as they are. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. It is very hard to know what kind of runs of salmon we will have year in and out. The only thing I can promise is that our gear will be in good working order and we will be in one of my most productive spots to keep our odds up for the whole trip.
Seward has a lot off fun attractions to offer but this race is one of the community’s most loved events. Of you’re ever in Alaska on the 4th of July make sure you come to Seward for the race, parade and great food. You can even get chocolate covered bacon!! Yuck but you have to try it because it’s chocolate covered bacon.
