Sure wish I was heading to Yakitat for sockeye.  Bring an extra rod and reel as they're know for burning them up.  Good Luck!

Well, got back from AK.  No need to have worried about that, 50lb braid and 30 lb leaders, only lost two hooks, the other guys were breaking off a lot.  Even got a 20 pound king.  They were few and far between and closed for >20 inches the day after this was caught.

More story and pics soon.
