Landscape & scenery photos from the Kenai River
Slow backwater
Some of these Kenai River rainbows have serious battle scars from being hooked and released so many times, as the mouth on this one clearly shows.

Big rainbow (estimated 25") in the middle Kenai River. Our drift boat guide (Jeff from Alaska Troutfitters) had a policy that he holds the fish instead of the clients, which felt weird to me but is completely understandable given the diverse clientele and the amount of pressure on these fish. Mishandling by inexperienced clients could add up to a lot of mortality.
