Launched at the Bridge in Cooper Landing. No wind, sweet! That is until I turned the corner. Then it was HOWLING! Holy Cow. In the slow sections of the river, I had to paddle downstream to actually move downstream in some spots. So I only fished for maybe 30 minutes as I just checked out the sites seeing as though this was my first time ever drifting this section of the river. Hard to believe.
The water levels have come down dramatically but I was disappointed to see the water was still silty with visibility less than 20 inches. Maybe a little over a foot.
Two bits of excitement. First going through the Princess Lodge rapids. Not sure if I got lucky but it was easy. No sweat.
Second didn't seem as bad on video but at the time, it was a shot of adrenalin for sure. The wind starts ti pick up and it catches my paddle causing my body to lean over a bit, The yak starts tipping and another gust hits the yak and it sure felt like I was going over. Not good since I was in the middle of the river avoiding the sweepers and shallow stuff.
The lesson for the day was I need to upgrade my footwear. Probably just a few more wool socks. Standing in the river was miserable! My hands were fine just wearing disposable gloves. Even with the metal paddle pole. But my toes were freezing. Also I knew it from ice fishing but my olympus stylus tough 8010 is wimpy when it comes to cold. Had to shove it in my drysuit to warm it up a bunch of times and then it would only work for 10 minutes or so. Gopro worked great.
So here's the video of a few sections if anyone wonders what its like to float the Upper Kenai in November...here ya go. I'd rather watch porn my self...fish porn that is.....
The video:
And a few pictures!
