Title: Three hours in Alaska
Post by: TeacherMan on August 16, 2010, 07:56:57 PM: Well I went out with a couple friends on Saturday morning. We got on the river at 6am when it opened and got off the river at 8:50am. We kept a total of 12 fish, 8 silvers and 4 reds. We caught close to 100 fish, lots of them where pinks. Overall a great day of fishing. Fun, fun and more fun!!! The pic of the river was my fishing hole. The tail gail shot I took after filleting one fish already and thought of getting out the camera. Not a bad day/morning fishing.

Post by: TeacherMan on August 17, 2010, 07:39:13 PM: At that spot on that creek I was only 1/4 mile from salt water. We actually saw a whale at the mouth of the creek about 50 yards out. Bear crap all over. I have seen 6 black bears in 3 weeks. No grizz. The best part about Alaska just came today, the guy that teaches across the hall from me is a big game and fishing guide also. If things could even get better the guy two doors down in my hall is also a guide. I put up my shoulder mounts and a bear rug today in my classroom. :IBCOOL:

Post by: TeacherMan on August 17, 2010, 10:03:31 PM: Not to brag, but kind of :chuckle: I've got so many fish lately my hands are all cut up and have been bleeding because of teeth and gills cutting them. I forgot my pliers the other morning and that was just craziness. :chuckle: I guess its a good problem. The fun will end for a while I started work this week.

I like to use the term the "The Kenia Flip" Yes, we are using a size 3/o red hook with yard on it "yarn fly" going up about 18" to a two inch pencil lead. and just getting the line to run through their mouth and setting the hook. The best part is when you accidentally get a nice silver in the tail :chuckle:

Did you just move up??? I'm going out either Saturday or Sunday morning fishing. I'm going to also try and get out and do a little moose hunting this weekend, opens Wednesday around this area. Buddies at work got 3 bulls over 50" last weekend just up north of us.
