I guided the wilderness streams of Admiralty and Baranoff islands for eight summers after I retired from my fishcop career. I saw natural spawning like it used to be here. Caught so many fish, dodged bears regularly, and on my days off, went fishing. It was hard work but also a dream come true. Ironic that I couldn't afford to go on a first class trip to SE Alaska, and then they paid me to go. Life is sometimes strange but good. Whalers Cove Lodge was my employer. Alaskas creek fishing is probably as good as ever, but saltwater isn't what it used to be due to stupid regulations.
