I - or we have changed some plans due to some financial and other reasons
My grandchildren 11 and 8 are getting older and growing up (I must be getting older also) so I am faced w a choice of fishing trips Take one " exotic " trip and as many as I want locally MT. WY and ID or take one w a grandchild at a lodge w a guide My grand daughter will be 12 in Dec and she is very mature for her age - She of course matured faster that her brother Her brother is still a terror as I was at his age but Alexis is willing and quite anxious to go We would go for 6-7 days 4 -5 of them fishing days I figure and extra 2 for flying over and above say 6-7 days or so at a lodge with a guide Wherever we go I will hire a guide full time on the water as I want to be certain Alexis is 100% safe It will be next July or August This will be our first trip so I want her to catch fish but most importantly , have fun and a great time Me I want a King on a fly rod I figure Patagonia, New Zealand and Russia are too far for a week or a little more and I do not want to go to Mexico Here is my question for this group and my choices so far - Kodiak Island - I have a couple of places in mind the Agfoniak Lodge Labrador - large Bookies and I always wanted to go - no guide nor place in mind as yet Elsewhere in Alaska?? My king salmon dream We have friends near Anchorage I did not like the area I would like to see Nome - suggestions of places and guides for Alaska are welcome Oregon Coast for salmon and steelies - steelie fishing may not be for her Atlantic Salmon - Mirimachi and other rivers - Atlantic salmon are 1,000,000 casts per catch! Lodges are expensive but nice Iceland - I have been there - also very expensive for a good beat on a river She would love Reykjavik - I would like a place where there are other things for her to do besides fish - ride? Another option would be a ranch by Yellowstone - but that may be too much like home I always wanted to see Prince Rupert and Smoothers -suggestions there are welcome as is all of BC and Alberta Any other ideas or suggestions even for specific outfitters are appreciated in advance - Merci Fred |
