A few pics from Alaska
 

Man we had a great time, rain and all. We were up there for 13 days or so, hard to keep track, and fishe all but 2 or 3 days. We have 4 cds with pics on them but I havent had time to put them on my comp, he are a few I have.

We had planed on camping and floating but with all the rain we had to find some were dry. This is were we stayed, $100 a night split 4 ways, cant beat that.

This is the reason there are so many trout in Alaska, Red Salmon everywere. I got in the shower one night and there was even one in there.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Some times it was hard not to hook the reds, we did get a few that were in good shape but I dont have the pics yet. This is what we were after, whan the salmon are in the trout only feed on salmon eggs and the best imitation is a small plastic bead.

This rainbow is on the small side but man what a good looking fish.

Between the 4 of us we we landing over 100 fish a day, and some days it was so nutz that I wold say I alone landed 50. Here is another bow and my backup rod, broke my other one the first day we were there.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

The last 2 fish were out of the same hole, and what do you know another bow from that great hole.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

When I said the reds were everywere I ment it. This is no more the a run off caused by all the rain, were is the bear?

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

This is a hudge Dolly my dad caught, 28in. Dollies are in the same family as Lake trout, brook trout and arctic char, they are all char.

This is Turnagain arm taken while driving on the New Seward Hwy. The tied is out or on its way out and the mud flats are exposed, a few people hive died on these flats because they get traped in the mud and the tied comes in and... well you know what happens.

Wow thats awesome;)

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

This is Bird Creek, yah look like a river to me to, but up there it is just a creek. We fished a few hours here to see if we could get a siver or two, but we just ended up with some rotten pinks and a chum.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

This is the bigest bow we got, 27 in. The freind we went up there to fishe with was the luckey fisherman to fight and land this fish. Tuck him into his backing twice.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Thanks Malard, I have a few more.

This is the veiwfrom ourdeck at the hotel. WOW

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

One more of my ugly mug. One of the days we were there a freind of a freind tock us out on his boat on the lower Keni, man what a river. He guides the river but had a trip CXL one dayso he tock us out, all it cost uswas dinner and gas. I tried to get him to fish but I think he liked running the boat more. I must have fallen asleep for this pic, fishing way to hard.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

those r awsome pix! look like some good eatin to me lol

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

All in all it didnt cost all that much, $413 for a plain ticket from Chicago, the hotel was alittle more then we thought but still only like $25 bucks a night between the 4 of us, all in all I had $900 with me and came home with $140 that includes gas to and from Chicago. We did have it alittle on the easy side with our freind up there. He had a boat, truck, and house wecould use as needed, and we used them all. Ow yah I also spent$150 on crap for all the people we left behind.

The best way to do it would be to rent one of them Motor homes, around $120 a day unlimited miles. Thats your room and car all in one and for the most partyou dont drive that much when you fish all day.

Just thoughtI would share, its not as out of reach as most think it is.

I may have more picssoon.

One last pic, this is a dolly I caught, one of the first fish of the trip.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Bowhunter, we had planed on keeping a few but because the weather pushing us inside we didnt have anywere to cook them, sure would have been nice to have some over the fire. Bears I dont see no bears.

RE: A few pics from Alaska

RE: A few pics from Alaska

RE: A few pics from Alaska

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Wow looks like you had a great time up there. I cant wait to get up into alaska and go fishing for some of those rainbows. Congrats.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

WOW.......that looks awesome. makes me want my dream even more! my goal is to get a ranger job for the national park service at a park in Alaska. im on my way. gotta keep the grades up and do some butt kissing....but ill do what it takes. hopefully ill be there in 2 summers for my internship. the more i see and hear about the state the more i want to go there. to me that would be one GIANT playground. planning on going up there for a while till i get too cold...then transfer somewhere a little warmer...gota keep my grades up and i should be on my way. nothing set in stone but thats where i want to go.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

The closest I've ever gotten was floating off the coast on an aircraft carrier ... [&o]

RE: A few pics from Alaska

I have been vary lucky when it comes to fishing. My Dad taught me so much that I can fish just about anywere without paying a gid to help me out, which saves alot of money and makes trips like this work for someone who dosent have much extra cash. We have been on fishing trips all over and to me it seems like we do it vary cheep.

The fishing was great, but the best part of the trip was hanging out with my Dad, brother, and good freind forcloseto twoweeks, bad smlls and all. The image of my old man running down the shore to land that big dolly is pricless.


Thanks for looking at the pics. I have tuns more but the only time I can get on the comp is at work and I cant load them here. I may get a few more up.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Great pictures there Guss. Sounds like you guys had an awesome time. The above picture reminds me of aBULL Trout(also technically a Char) that I have seen in MT. The colorations are almost exactly alike.
WAy to go.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Killer pics, I have never made it very far north for any hunting or fishing. Not a bad price either. I would have guessed much higher. Somewhere down the road I would love to go as well

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

great pics man, thanks for sharing, me and the wife have talked about an alaskan cruise;)

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Yes...I could handle a trip like that. Guss....did you keep alot of fish. What are the bag limits like and did ya bring any back home in a cooler?

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Great pics and thanks for sharing Guss. Someday I'll get up there for some fishing and hunting.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Actually a BULL TROUT and DOLLY are the exact same fish. Either or they can be called.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Ok, I'm envious! Great pictures and some quality fish. I definitely want to make it up there at some point in my life. It'll be a bit more expensive for me though, as I live on the east coast and I don't know anyone up there to help out. Someday..........

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Awesome pics!!!

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Thanks all.

Chuck, we didnt keep any fish. We had planed on camping andcooking some over the firebut with all the rain we had to stay at a motel and had no were to cook them. They realy look after there fish up there and have tuns of different regs on all the rivers. I dont think you can keep rainbows on many rivers. I talkedto some people who went out after Halibit and had it sent home. The chartes take care of all of that for you. My Dad sent some crab legs home for my Mom, they are so big up, as long as akids arm. Vary expensive to send stuff that far.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Thanks for the heads up Guss.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Those are some awesome pics, Guss. I hope to do that someday soon. Guess I have to settle for browns on the grand river for now though.

RE: A few pics from Alaska
 

Very cool dude
