Great pics. Do all of the trout winter in the lake?

fished the upper Kenai this past Sept. Beautiful river. Caught many silvers ( black bunny leeches were the ticket) dollies ( egg patterns  check egg pattern crystal meth more effective than beads) big rainbows, pinks. Some great steelhead  fishing in Anchor and Kasilof
Hope to make it up this year.

I read someting about the trout wintering but my numbers are probably a little off.  It was like 10%  winter in the river itself, 20% winter in Kenai Lake and the rest winter in Skilak Lake.  I am probably off but the majority of the fish are in Skilak lake right now.  Here in the next month or so they will start to migrate to the lake outlets for the smolt migration, then they will head off to spawn in May.  After they spawn a lot of them head back to the lakes until the salmon arrive in good numbers. 

Sept. is by far the best time to be on the upper Kenai for rainbows.  I just sucks because that falls into the best moose hunting time also.  Tough decisions.
