We went out in the salt the first day because a storm was coming.
Dad got a 80 and 64. I caught two 35's.


Dad's 64. Don't think he wanted to hold up the 80.


The next day we went down the river guided. It was a cold and rainy day. 2 fish landed.

I have never stuck my hands in 35 degree water before. COLD!



Blanked the 3rd day. Rained all day. Never let up. It was also my first time rowing a drift boat. An interesting experience to say the least. I imagine it is a lot easier than our rivers.


The last day was pretty nice. We were out of our raingear most the day. The river was up over 500cfm though. We did not see many fish and the ones we did see were dark. We each caught one fish but did not get pics.

The first day down the river we did get these pics of a bear I think I posted before.


Overall I enjoyed the trip. It was my first to Alaska. The lodge was great. I hope to make it back soon. You just can't do much about the late winter like we had this year.
