And to keep Vedder away from my sandwiches.
Lovely photos Dave. I've got a few more to share at some point.
Thanks for making the trip up and great spending a few fall days with you on the water.

Todd I think I have a shot where he is sort of smiling. But it might have been gas. Truth is he was an amazing host, showing me "his" river and how to fish it. And I did have first water almost the entire time.

Fly fishing for big bows! I can't think of anything I would rather do! Even dollies/bulls are fun on the fly.

Made that drift around this time of year with a couple of close friends. It stands out as one of my favorite days on the water. Sharing the Kenia with just a handful of boats made me feel like we were fishing 'closed waters'. We matched the hatch by drifting beads and flesh patterns. That was a first for me. I was all set with newly tied wooly buggers etc., but was told to put them away. Grinning just thinking about it. Not many fly fishing purists on the river that day. Thanks for sharing the experience and the cool pics.

Nice fish there Dave. Looks like a nice trip.
Hey, what kind of indicator is on Dave's rod? Looks like a 2 gram Raven float.
And using the 10-24mm Nikor lens? Beautiful photos Coley.

5 gram Raven floats Sam.
Most of the pics were with my 24-70 f2.8, the few wide ones were the 10-24, and the pano was with my LX7.
Didn't have much time for working on "good" images. Dave had me chasing the net and his fish around most of the time. Glad you enjoyed a few of the snaps though.

I always enjoy your photos Coley. They're top notch work. Give me some inspiration on my photography.
Almost right on about the Raven float.

Most of the pics were with my 24-70 f2.8, the few wide ones were the 10-24. C/g what's your game plan when using high quality photo gear over water? Other than not falling in.... We have our waterproof P&S but when the wild fish are running it's nice to carry the good gear. c/22

Pelican case on the boat, expose the gear for brief periods of time. Keep a lens cleaning/drying kit handy.
Don't fall in the river, don't fall in the river, don't fall in the river.
Dry everything out when you get home or to warmer/drier places at night.
Extended trips are the most difficult with regard to sensitive gear management, not to mention other things.

Awesome pics.
How many times ya think that bow has be CnR'd??????? There were a handful of rainbows in that series, many more that didn't get their portrait taken. When fishing the kenai it is extremely rare that you catch any trout or dolly that doesn't have quite a few scars from previous battles. One of the fish we saw on this outing was as clean as any trout I've seen, but those are the exception not the norm on the kenai. I'd suspect that most decent sized trout there get caught on a weekly basis if not more frequently. The older fish do get smart, but it doesnt take too long to figure out where they live and how they behave. They can't stop eating, to add another wound you just have to know where they are at and what they are eating. The kenai has one of the most dense trout populations of any river in the world, but the angler to trout ratio is probably higher than average.

But . . if you do enough shooting around water an occasional drowned camera is the price of doing business. I have drowned three . . . so far.

I know a few who pack their camera's in Pelican cases. I have one that I need new foam insert for, or find the right size Lowe Pro case that fits inside of it. (Used now, they don't make it) I've been fortunate so far, no drowned cameras. But, it is a little nerve racking wading with a exposed camera. So Dave, did you get your camera gear repaired? Or do you have to replace the camera body and/or lens?
