I wanted to get my older kids out there with a fly rod now that they seem to be hooked on small lake bait fishing lately
roud:... For me personally, it's a blast watching the fish go for that fly, and I think they'd have a blast as well with all the action involved. I know it takes some time as a kid getting the hang of it, and I don't know much about fly fishing in Alaska. (Previously was in CO, and was mainly fishing tiny high mountain streams with bead-heads for brookies.) Does anyone have any suggestions on whereabouts to go around the kenai peninsula? Don't need nothing big, a few minnows would do the trick just so they can get the swing of things. For example, the idea of casting upstream from where you see the fish... Was hoping to come across a small creek that has public access, but if you thought they would be able to catch something this time of year in a river (Kasilof or Kenai?), I'd be open to suggestions as well. Was looking for something that you could bring home to supper, so they could clean their own fish, but I'm not too awful familiar with what's out there that you can keep. I've heard about dollys, char, and trout... also whitefish. But have no clue what/where/how to get whitefish, but i've heard they are really good eating. A few years ago I remember someone catching whitefish with a flyrod at the kenai... never heard of them since. Any ideas on what to use/where to go/how to go about it would be extremely appreciated. Thanks a bunch - AKFishfight
