Russian River- Day 3

An even earlier morning of fishing.  We got up at 4am and opted to hike down to the confluence to fish the Kenai River.  Our friends, Buzz and Leeann joined us.  It was nice to get there before the ferry started bringing over more fisherpeople from the other side of the river.  Not much going on in this river either.  We snagged quite a few but just weren't able to get them in.  Some foul hooks, too.  I did manage to catch a dolly varden that we snacked on later in the day.  Buzz and Leeann's day on the Kenai was cut short when he fell in and topped his waders trying to pull in a red.  And the damn thing got away...
Lot's of fun back at the camp though.  I took a snooze and Miles went back to the Kenai with some of the others to try again.  When I saw him returning I asked him if he limited out.  "Yeah.  On PATIENCE!" was his reply!  Oh, well, there's always beer and a jam sesh by the campfire...
