I had interesting things on my mind in 8th grade


then this happened


fuuuuck anchorage


the waiting game ensued


we found a few steelbows


yeah that's glass




the ducks showed up


and made babies


went fishing here, got skunked


dipper don't care


drove like 500 miles to fish this lake


got skunked, but at least sunrise was pretty


Opening Morning First Boat down!


caught a few


swing while you can

I feel like they converted wrong

Ha! The irony of this is the guy handling it before me is European!

part III

ate as many of these as I could find


Glass and color




cutts on dries!


pretty places


Rainbows!


some bigger fish hang out here too






some decent cutts too


This fish was awesome! Caught it in a stream that was 4 feet wide, sniped the fly from a bigger dolly though


contrary to popular belief dollies eat dries




you can see where they get the name


rainbow


small but sweet


CT


kayaking




this pretty much sums up the group, I believe that the net was bear protection


I did manage a nice dolly here


Oh Dean Peak I want you so bad... got thwarted by storms and sat up there for 3 days got 4 good turns though


went for a national IPA day/Opening day walk


found some fish


pretty light


cutts on stimis


good fish, smashed it








the summer was warm enough for stuff like this!


dock party...

Part IV


Finally caught a lake trout with a two hander...

(sigh)


grayling










I want


so I got a job here, pretty sure I'll be able to skin from work!


sampled the local flavor








so under that overhanging tree on the left there was a 16" dolly which after several failed bow and arrow casts I finally got a drift, the 16incher charged and out of nowhere a 20 incher showed up and beat it to the fly, then ran up around that clump of grass and broke me off


floated the big water




dry flies are good








went for a bike ride




more small stream magic














good news guys










Virgin Creek Valley recieving god rays







Its been a good summer. Up next, hunting, steelhead, and football season

Man, some high quality photography there. Beautiful shots! Looks like your summer was productively fun.

[Crystal_Mt_Dreamin]

AKPM has caught more fish this summer than I have my entire life

AKPM has caught more fish this summer than I have my entire life

I have caught the least amount of fish this summer than I have since 2005, however no gill nets, beach seines, or fish traps were involved.
