Title: Alaska "Matsu Valley Silvers"
Post by: TeacherMan on August 04, 2010, 09:35:30 PM: Well I moved to Alaska and have been in the area less than two weeks but have already fell in love with the fishing and wildlife. I have seen 5 bears got within 5 yards of one stalking it before it winded me and who knows how many moose. The silver salmon are running thick. Three days in a row we have got out limits with no issues using either shrimp, fresh roe, or vibrax spinners. All the salmon pics are different fish. My four year old got her first silver on a Dora fishing pole, I put 20 pound test on it, lol. I put up a few pics so you can see the area.
