Finally hit the water after what seems like an eternity of work and other tasks. With the days getting longer and the sun shining more open water has been on my mind lately.

I was contacted by a buddy if mine letting me know that he would be in town for a few days. He wanted to hit the Kenai with me if I could take a day off this week. He is deploying to Afghanistan next week and this would be his only open water venture of the year.

Hell yea I was sick and needed fresh air, open spaces and the sounds of a stream to heal me! The day off was had.

One of the best days of winter rainbow fishing at "the bridge" I experienced. Glad my buddy had an epic day on the water before he leaves.
Blue bird cold and breezy day, but the day was filled with rainbows.

Enjoy some pics

Haha...Everything is pretty much locked up.  The Kenai is a large river and not all parts of it freeze.  This section remains open all year.  You get three drifts and have to break off all the ice build up on the guides.  Makes it all more rewarding when you actually hook up.
