Title: Photos of my move up to Alaska
Post by: SpokaneSlayer on August 26, 2010, 02:21:42 PM: Made the drive up the ALCAN last week for our move up here to Alaska. Saw some amazing country. We are in awe of all the scenery around Anchorage. I still can't believe we live here now. Been here less than a week and I've seen 3 bull moose and a fox. There were some moose outside my new shop this morning. Here are a few of the 500+ pics we took on the way up.

Post by: SpokaneSlayer on August 26, 2010, 08:27:45 PM: Thanks everyone.

Bullblaster - He was good. Slept most of the time unless we stopped, then he just had his head out of the window and took it all in. Wasn't to sure what to make of those sheep and elk though.

High Country - This was a military move. Got paid to come up here. Pretty rough, huh? :chuckle:

JIMKD8 - Yes, he is a GSP.

:chuckle: He can have a tent in the backyard. Watch out for the wolves. They have been seen in the neighborhood.

Post by: high country on August 27, 2010, 06:23:06 AM: if you ever want to see wolves take a trip down the knick or su.....seen them on shore of both.

I am sure you know this by now, but a big blue fox spoon, silver with pink hauling a hunk of yarn seems to do the trick on the silvers and the kings, have a few vibrax too. I went with a pickup load of gear and wound up fishing with a fanny pack filled with two lures....lol.

jewell lake is a great place to go flyfish for some lake rainbows......lots of them and easy to catch.

there is a bunch of holes on silver creek that should still have some silvers in them!

Title: Re: Photos of my move up to Alaska
Post by: TeacherMan on August 28, 2010, 10:54:22 AM: Didn't miss much this morning fishing, the silvers are still in but more out toward the Peninsula. Did see three moose this morning but no legal bulls. Great pics, the area looked really familiar since we just did it a month ago. Looked like you hit fresh snow? I've been told we will start seeing it around this area in the hill in a couple weeks. Good luck!
