I’m curious how you guys are dealing with the testing requirements? My wife and I were hoping to do a wilderness trip later this month but had to pull the plug due to not being able to get the testing requirements. The 72 hour rule is great from a heath perspective, but logistically we couldn’t make it work.
As for the questions on rods and techniques: I’ve found it’s also quite tricky to find good swing water with enough room to make a switch rod feasible. I personally am not a big fan of indicators unless I absolutely have to, so 99% of my fishing up there is without. I have no doubt that I could catch more trout with a dedicated egg/bobber set up, but I’ve been happy enough with my results without. Good call on the 8wt, as that rainbow is not an anomaly there! Late August will have lots of both silvers and pinks in the Kenai. The pinks can be a lot of fun in other waters, if you hook them right out of the salt; unfortunately any pinks you hook on the Kenai will be more of a nuisance than anything else.
One fun thing about fishing the Kenai, is that with the same fly you could easily hook a Silver, Rainbow, or Dolly on any given cast! Lots of fun.
