THRILLING HENTIE:
(Special to the Gateway)
Russian River and trout are syn
onymous to most Seward residents,
and such was proven to be the
truth when a group of Lawing and
Anchorage people recently went
down to try their luck with the
gamy rainbow. Frank Towle, popu
lar Cooper’s Landing guide took
his sea sled with its 32 horse power
outboard, aJnd with a party of six
besides himself, left the Kenai Lake
j Ranger Station about 6 a m., ar
■ riving at Cooper’s Landing at 8.

Here he refueled in preparation
for the trip down Kenai River.
From Cooper’s Landing to the
mouth of the Russian River is only
30 minutes down stream—but a null
hour of thrills barely suggestive to
those who come on the return trip.
Most exciting, of course, was the j
Schootner Bend Rapids, where the |
combers were high enough to bej
level with the sides of the boat, j
Following a zig-zag course that j
long years have taught him to be
the only safe one, dodging invisible
boulders, skirting snags, racing thru
i foamy white rapids, Frank Towle
steered his peculiar shaped craft
; finally into the mouth of Russian
I River. Here the party disembarked
'to scatter along the river banks,
prospecting the likely looking ra
pids and holes for fish.
Only fair success was had, for
the preceeding day a party had
beerv there, frightening the fish
considerably. However, quite a
number of fair sized Rainbows and
Dollys were caught, and after
lunch, fishing with spinners was
tried. Suddenly a shout of “I got
one!!” aind one of the boys was
.racing up and down the bank try
ing to keep a bit of line on his
reel, while a whale out in the river
jumped, and dashed, and turned,
and fought to shake loose the
[stinging hook. The fight was too
1 one-sided to last long, and soon the
tired fish, a silvery streak in the
! water, was scooped up with a land
ling net. A 26-inch fish was not so
.much, compared to the record 33
jinch trout landed some days be
ifore, but it was enough to cause
! ’mty “Oh’ss” and “All’s” amonp
the party. All together, the group
! probably caught 30 fish and them
(started the return trip, about 3 a.
jm.
; The down-river trip from Cooper’s
[Landing takes only 30 minutes, but
(the up-river trip requires over two
I hours. Rapids over which the boat
[skimmed going down, must be
j fought every inch on the return
(trip. The two high spots on this
! trip were the Schooner Bend ra
pids. where the boat slowly creeps
jup behind a house sized boulder,
jalnd then dashes slowly across the
current breasting combers consid
erably higher than the sides of the
boat; and the rapids just below
the Landing, where the river is a
smooth and unbroken sheet of

The boat apparently stuck in
-his place, but just as the more 1
lervous ones were trying to main
the oars, the boat slowly “built [

ly over it. Having taken a river
