a great series of photos I enjoyed them very much, but pardon me for saying
the picture captioned "Jeff with another silver" should be captioned Jeff
with another Char.


d;o) Good eyes, Ralph. The fins should have given folks a hint.
You are correct - it is a Dolly Varden and I had a senior moment. The
day that Jeff guided, we were after silvers, but switched after lunch
to pick up some char on smaller weight rods. Jeff, btw, is a
fantastic source of info on Alaskan brown bears, and his stories about
bears, their habits, habitat, reaction to different stimuli, etc.
never fail to entertain. He's about knee high to a grasshopper, but
strong as a bull. Great guy and guide.
