Well…I’ve been back for awhile now, but my cpu was messed up for a quick second. Not to mention I’ve been doing quite a bit of fishing.

Here’s a post about my recent trip to AK.
I just got back from what could be my last trip up to AK cause my parents are moving to Texas. I went up there to help them fix up their house so they can sell it but I squeezed in five days of fishing. 3 days for Kings on the little susitna and deshka rivers and 2 days for reds on the russian river. I got skunked on the king trips. On my last trip for kings I hooked 4 and lost all of them, one at the boat >:( My new found bass skills must have gotten the best of me cause I totally forgot how to fight salmon ;D Hopefully I’ll get my king redemption this year when I learn how to drift the American/Feather rivers. On the Russian River I hooked over 50 fish both days…so fun! I saw a bear too, luckily it was on the other side of the river. I brought back all my fish frozen wrapped in garbage bags and newspaper in my main luggage because I didn’t have enough fish to warrant it’s own cooler ;D I was a little worried but it stayed frozen.

I’m gonna miss the summer vacations up there filled with salmon and the site of all the alaskan toys, especially all the aluminum river runners. Here’s some pics…

Coming back from the Deshka around midnight.

Here’s combat fishing at its finest on the russian river. Even with all the people its one of my favorite places cause the fish are everywhere!

This is the view of Big Lake from my parents dock at around midnight. Mt. Mckinley is on the very right. The sunset only gets better the later it gets. I ended up sitting out on the dock at 3am drinking beer and smoking stogies many of nights this trip cause I don’t know when I’ll ever make it back up to AK.

The weird thing is, the whole time I was fishing for monster kings I was thinking about and wanting to go fishing for little green bass ;D
