KP Fun- Kasilof River Float Trip

3:00 am came early, but Vince and I were excited to hit the road and head to Kasilof to meet our float guide for the day :) We eventually managed to find a cup of coffee in Soldotna (hallelujah!) and made our way to the boat launch...

...beautiful morning at the river's edge

We met our guide, hopped in the boat (life jackets on), and off we went

We couldn't have asked for a nicer day

Vince hooked into one right off the bat! 

 

It was a beautiful fish- a healthy wild female. We landed it, removed the

hook, and quickly returned it to the water so it could live to make more salmon

Fishing was slow the rest of the day, but I'm glad that Vince got to catch his first King for his birthday. We finished our float, packed up the Black Betty (my CX-5), and headed back to Anchorage with Cheshire grins :)
