Some sort of cool looking rock bass and a halibut. this one's about 40-50lbs. I had one on for about a half hour that was about 200+ pounds, but he spat out the salmon carcass he had taken, right at the end of the fight as the cap't was about to shoot it. Literally 5 more seconds he would have been on the gaff and shot. Oh well, it was fun. My arms are still pretty sore, it was about a half hour scrap with it.... Saw lots of whales, most from quite a distance... I never did get any really good shots, but here's a pics of a humpback that was about a mile away as we headed back in. scenery from the boat A day on the Lower Kasilof (famous King Salmon river)... I was dissapointed with it. You sit in a boat, with a rod in the rod holder, and wait. No fun really, especially when the fishing was dead slow. A few boats hooked up... here's one.

You mighta heard some really loud whoopin and hollerin' on June 29th. It was coming from up north and it was me Klutina River (near copper center, alaska)... King Salmon ... 40 pounds. 47 inches. On my spey. Flesh fly. BEEEEYYYAAAHHHHHH!!!! and one for Max and yes, it was kept, and it was absolutely delicious!!!!!! someone else wanted it too..... he watched the whole show.. some "reds" (sockeye salmon) taken on my 6wt on June 30th, after the work was done (they were also very, very tasty) Getting ready to go out on a halibut charter the harbor in Seward, alaska A true Ling Cod (38 inches and about 25 pounds)

sweet pics looks like fun. I had no idea I was going past a place with similar fishing or I would have stopped and got some of that action too (Teslin Lake, Yukon.... dangit!!)

Maybe I got it wrong what there using. His phone was pretty static-ey - were drifitng and fly rodding, so.... I guess I'll see. 600M runs... and they stop? latch onto a king and it does not stop... apparently...

#14 - 18 black ant with a hi-vis post on top of it so u can see it. You'll slam them.

They said a 10wt 15ft Loop Blue (I was gonna steal Greg's LOLOL) would be totally inadequate for the kings they chase ----- 40-60 pounds throw in the odd 80+ I don't care what kinda rodd I gotta use as long as I can fill the air with a huuuuge BEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

EPIC pics.....

LOL... looks like he's holdin up the stanley cup on that one! :) Cool shots max! Im gonna try and hold up a king salmon like that for teh pose!

My guide for the Kenai on July 2nd/3rd said they use surf rods for the kings. I'm not sure what that means yet but I'm sure there bigazzzzzz rods! I'll let u know when I get back lol

I should also note: Crow or south of it would be about my boundary

LS. If you can convince them to go elsewhere (both in light of better fishing, and easier fishing, and safer wading) I'd be happy to help... if you know right away. I can book weekends off pretty easy with enough advance notice.

Yes,,, yes it is LOLOL

Indeed I would, but ... I need not fish chocolate milk at a few select locations

I did tell you about my strugeon didn't i? foul hooked it while nymphing about 6-7 yrs ago fishing the mouth of the 'wood in the spring... the dang thing was about 45 to 50 inches and probably about 20 pounds or more maybe 30. It was the coolest thing. I got an old pic somewhere, but I don't have a scanner (it's a old 35mm film shot...)

LMFAO..... nice.....good to see you practice C&R

Heh.. I love it man... but ... your gonna drive about 13 miles and it'll fall off

Hey... uhhh... you spelled it wrong LOL

Herein Lies The Problem..... Most of our "remote" areas really do not need any ATV's running around. Sorry to sound offensive, but that's how I and a lot of others feel.

I think I'll get it up to fishing shape, and fish with it ONCE.. catch one fish, and then it goes back on the wall So I am gonna chase that big arse crowsnest rainbow I've been trying to catch for 5+ years with it

haha... that's why you REMEMBER the days...... ahh the good ol' days when there were fish in the ocean Thanx for the location the rick... gonna tell my bro to throw his fly rod away and grab a can of bait and a bass pole and head on down I guess :D

haha... I gotta dig up that pic somewhere. and the japanese koi I got .... get a koi Maxwell, and you will have joined the ranks of the mighty multi species, all kinds of weird fish, plus I catch panties and a bra the same spot 15 minutes apart. You'll never attain such glory!

Stuff my way is looking like crap too. Lee creek in cardston... is muck... 5 times it's normal size. Makes it hard to hit the golf ball over it. Lost a few in there lol Waterton / St Mary both high and look like crap. Oldman was muck at ft mcleod on saturday. Yup there nothing down here that's fishable (cough)

Will there be anything in the Prince George area when I'm coming back through? (July 6-10 or so?)

Yup. There already feckkin ruined. Please go there...

The breaking point is already past. Trucks as it stands right now are running down the road losing money. Companies are folding at an alarming rate. My advice is... fill your basement with dry food goods and water people. I'd say this world is headed for some catastrophic food shortages, and economic misery, very soon. I'm actually taking my alaska run for what it is.... what might be my last real chance at fishing such a "far away" place. Gonna hire some guides... and get ' er done right
