Kenai Fishing Report
I am at the head of the world famous Kenai River for the summer. I will be updating fishing conditions here as I see them. Most of it subjective, but I check the wier counts on the Kenai River and Kasiloff River for sockeye and King counts on a regular basis.
My creds come from fishing this area nearly every summer from May into October since 2001 and being directly involved in the guiding business as chef for Red Salmon Lodge in Cooper Landing. Here are a couple of examples of what we will be talking about...
Not much happening right now. Deep Creek marine is open for feeders and some steelies. Upper River closed until June 9th. Bait on the Kasiloff next week.

Christmas Crunch
Here it is, the third week in December at a ski resort. If you don't have your staff together and humming the same tune by this time, you are setting yourself up for a tough holiday high season. I thought I did until yesterday when one of my key cooks blew out his knee on the slope and I had a no-show on one of my PM dishwashers.
The cook thing sounds more critical, but it actually is less severe of a loss than the DW. Cooks are easier to find than a decent DW, an… Continue

sighs.....wish me luck.
Your images are absolutely Beautiful...wish I had a chance to steps in those ......Citybound.
Plans changed. Karen, who was supposed to drive to WY, was very inconsistent when we were trying to plan the trip, and I thought it best to book a flight instead to avoid being stranded at the last minute w/ no transportation.
I fly to SLC Friday night and have a bus commute to Jackson later that day. HR is supposed to pick me up in Jackson that evening.
Thanks for asking
Have a great summer and safe travels.
Yeah, I suppose I am an outdoorsy computer dude. No seasonal jobs, but living in Montana and working for such a cool company as CoolWorks gives me the best of both worlds!
Thanks for the great contributions to our world and watch for cool new stuff coming from CoolWorks in '08.

Thanx for the snow reports. I love it.
I'm up in Gardiner, at the North entrance to Yellowstone so I'm kind of local. We were visiting friends over at Moose and had to check out Targhee. Cool Works has worked with Targhee since our early days and my first trip to Targhee predates Cool Works by a lot of years. It's always been on the regional list. We had great spring day there a couple of years ago, skinning up and skiing down in May.
We hope to make it down another time or two this winter. I'll give you a heads up if that pans out. It'd be great to meet you.
Merry Christmas!
Bill
I spent the weekend on Fred's Mountain and in the Trap Bar and at Snorkels. Skied Teton Pass and saw friends in Jackson and Victor too. The Teton Valley is growing fast. The Targhee snow is still good.
Are you down that way this winter?
Welcome!
