Yeah yeah. So do we get an AK report?

Well I should hope so. It *is* Alaska. There shouldn't have been
many *under* 20", and there should have been some over *30"*.

Apparently ymdv.

No, none over 30".

What a remarkable asshole you are.

Steve, I've fished Alaska four times, and most of the rainbows were
more than 20 inches, and some were 30+. That's all I am saying.

Thanks for putting me in the same company as Fortenberry. Although I
strongly disagree with his politics, he's really a good guy.

You wouldn't have lasted one day on this trip, without a guide to carry
your **** around, cook your food, and wipe your fat ass.

You're a far bigger asshole than Fortenberry is. In fact, when it comes
to disgusting and repellent personal attributes -- in particular,
overweening and unjustified pride coupled with a selfish
small-mindedness second to none -- you are the worst I've ever come across.

You mean guides carry your stuff around? Never encountered that.
Cooking? Love it, especially camp cooking. I have fed some of the
most infamous roffians, including yourself. Why, wayno and Jeffie
actually swoon over my hash browns. I know, I know, you have this
thing about my ass, but believe me, Steve, you'll never get to it.
Sorry. I don't swing that way. d(

Best rainbow fishing I've ever seen, by far. We caught, in order,
Grayling, Dolly Varden (or Arctic Char), silver salmon, sockeye salmon,
rainbow trout (many on mice and many over 20"), chum salmon, king salmon
(a jack), and pike.

Hope you enjoyed it. I used to "dream" about going there some day. Don
īt suppose I will do so now though. Maybe one last trip into Swedish
Lappland as long as I am still fit enough. Have to wait and see.

I didnīt know that Dolly Varden were the same as Arctic Char. Had a
look, and it seems that Arctic Char are the third species to be called
"Dolly Varden". Seems also that the original Dolly Vardens are extinct
in the McCloud river?

Would be nice to see some pics?
