Looking forward to seeing them. Very fine TRs. Read both of them more
than once and it was well worth the time.

Was all of the fishing done with egg patterns? Nothing on top?

When I did some research a few years ago for a do-it-yourself trip, it
wasn't long before I learned even that can cost a bunch--nothing is cheap
in Alaska it seems. Although Mike says he found fish and not many crowds,
his trip had other motives as well as fishing, and a number of other
do-it-yourself accounts I've read were just the opposite. Since I would
go just for the fishing, a simple not-too expensive, not-too crowded lodge
on/near rivers with overlapping silver and steelhead runs would be just
the ticket. Not interested in Homeric numbers of fish, all the other
species, fly-outs, four-star digs or food, etc., but it would be worth
spending the extra money I think to avoid combat fishing conditions but
still be more or less sure of finding goods runs.

Anyway, glad you had a wonderful trip and thanks for the great reports.
