Title: A couple more Alaska trout
Post by: SpokaneSlayer on September 09, 2010, 11:14:51 PM: I've been on a hot streak lately up here. 4 trips and haven't been skunked yet. Here's a couple more, one from Labor Day and one from tonight.

I can definitely tell the difference in the fight. These fish are a totally different animal, jumping 2 feet in the air and zipping back and forth.

No, from what I've heard, I kind of missed the boat for the salmon runs this year. Next year.

Keep the pics going and maybe add some with the country behind you. I love Alaska!

I'll try to get some pics with more of the background. Those pics were taken by using the timer with the camera on the hood of my car since I was by myself.

Thanks man, I'll give that a shot.

Rasbo - I am having a blast. Had a trout actually break my line yesterday. That was a first.
