Alaska Fishing

The benefit of fishing in the Mat-Su Valley (especially Montana Creek) is
that you don't have to muscle your way into the line of fishermen combat
fishing the Kenai River or the Russian River. Both will be packed during
the time you're proposing.

Joe the Elder remembers---My female mate approached the Kenai with combat
fishermen lining the river and asked "what do I do now with all these guys
in the way ?" I loudly advised her to just sling the lure on the end of her
line around her head a few times then toss it as far out into the river as
possible.
She was quickly allowed space on the river and hooked up with a big salmon.
When the fish was about 60 feet downstream she started yelling --"get the
net-get the net " all the guys yelled advise --keep the rod tip up-- reel in
reel in--run downstream--It was a great trip
