I got the privilege of getting to go to Alaska this year for an adventure of a lifetime. We stayed at the Alaska Sportsman's Bear Trail Lodge in King Salmon. It was a first-class place in every aspect from equipment and guides to food and staff. We fished 2 days from the jet boat on the Naknek River and 2 days from float planes into the middle of nowhere.
The silver fishing was more like silver catching: my arms were worn out.


The bears were big, close and plentiful.

And the rainbow fishing was phenomenal after some beautiful hikes across the tundra!
