Maybe Chas or Willi can recall it. He was guiding, working (I believe)
with the Orvis outfit in Boone. He also guides for bonefish in the
Bahamas. He was a classic NC good ol' boy.

You have to try AK some time, Jeff. It will blow your mind.


it was hayden or theo copeland from appalachian anglers between boone
and foscoe. as good as they get in my opinion...

That's it -- Hayden. It was really strange to come across someone with a
mutual acquaintance in the remote Alaskan wilderness.


the pilot's name is craig ricks...

I was told that the pilot was the son of the owner of the plane. He
really screwed up, putting the Grumman Goose on its nose while running
it up onto the beach. Fortunately, the plane was righted with no damage.


alaska is on my to do list...but, it's a long haul from here. maybe in
the next few years.

Long haul? It's just a slightly longer flight. A self-guided float trip
can be pretty affordable.
