Walt Longmire Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hopefully that Yellow Eye has already seen a hot grill and some home made tartar sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Processed last night in Seward and now in the freezer at the cabin in Kenai. BTW. The smoke was horrific driving into Sterling.

The smoke was horrific driving into Sterling. Yeah '14 and '15 were bad fire years on the Kenai. The past 3 not so bad. I'm thinking this fire might jump the highway if the winds don't change. As long as it stays away from homes I'm o.k. with it. The moose hunting will be great in a few years. I hope it doesn't mess with your plans. Full tank of gas, water and treats in the car. Think about using Skilak Loop Rd as an alternate route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonny Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Yes. Thanks for the reminders to be prepared. Kinda concerned about not getting back to Anchorage for flight day. Heard that it was closed for four hours a couple of days ago due to poor visibility. I guess the only option then would be to head back here and fly from Kenai. Heard that Skilac route was closed. Not sure where it is either. If you have inside scoop and hear of any closures or anything else I should know about, please let me know. Not real sure as to the resources for this kind of info.

Walt Longmire Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well it's closed now. Looks like you will be heading to Homer, Kenai, or out north for any further adventures. Fire is at 40,000 acres and growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Open again as is Skilak Loop. Check 'Anchorage to Kenai Road Conditions'. Or call 511. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fished out of Homer yesterday and doing Kasilof drift boat tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the weight. I know I struggled to hold it for the pic. There was another caught by a guy on the boat with us, slightly bigger.

Zonny Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Trust me. I’m a little worried. I have flexibility to stay. My travel companion, not so much. Cant say as I don’t feel right at home here. Even bought XtraTufs this trip. I fit right in. BTW. We have three boxes of fish coming home this trip. ? ? ?

Huaco Kid Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I think if they told me it was 100 years old, I'd have to let it go. Anything that old (how old do they live?) deserves respect. Bad juju there, I think. (I'd sushi those 3 - 4 year olds right up, while they're still on the line, though.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been efforts to limit the numbers of yellow eye taken. They hang out around under water structure in small numbers. Very territorial. Wipe them out from an area and it takes forever for them to reestablish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
