Summer fishing on the Kenai

Last summer I finally began to realize the beauty of fishing the Kenai river. Wally purchased a drift boat, and often we borrowed a friends drift boat to head out and take advantage of the massive red run this year. Along with getting out two to three nights a week for reds, we also fished every drift Monday for kings. Not a huge success rate with the kings but nevertheless, the great summer weather we had made it worth it. In the heart of the king run I would often get off work at 5:30, meet Wally at the boat launch and pull out at The Pillars around 1am only to get up at 4am and start the cycle all over. I'm sure that takes years off your life....
