TR w/photos: Kanektok River, Bristol Bay, Alaska float

This was easily the best extended fishing trip I've ever done. Great
company, LOTS of fish, and some extremely bad weather. Check it out.

PS: It wasn't even expensive.

totally awesome, as they would say in frisco, colorado. what would you
estimate your temperature ranges during the day?

really good images from both parties; still, it was a little
disconcerting to note that, in willi's first photo of you, he caught you
having ****ed your waders...

Man you guys are driving me nuts! The report and photos are the next
best thing to actually being there. A distant second but what the
hell.

Strikes me as slightly better than the "Wal Mart/High Bridge" water!

Next time, hopefully.

It ranged from freezing at night into the high 50s during the day. The
big problem was the driving wind and rain into our faces while we were
floating. We were completely soaked after 3 days of that, and then,
miraculously, the weather cleared, the sun came out, and we got
everything dried out. It was glorious.

Nice! Thanks for the photos.

My two Finnish fishing buddies are right now in Alaska, fishing for
silvers, bows and dollies for ten days, driving around in a motorhome.

Great photos. But what's with Willi? He always seems to be
juggling fish. :-)

A question: Did you have any problems with bears going after the
fish you kept on a stringer? Or did they have so much to eat that they
didn't even bother?

Hi rw,
Neat trip. Don't quite understand the "It wasn't even expensive" part. Tell
me more. I recall a ROFF conversation some time ago where it was being
casually considered after a Dave L trip where it was digustingly luxurious.
.. .and his trip was envious to me . . . and I'm sure both were fishingly.
What was your cost?

I like the pic of Willi in the yellow raft holding the fish.
(Ranting On)
(I see too many pics of people squishing the belly or holding the fish
horizontally, or at such an angle that it is stretching the lower jaw.) I
guess I would suggest this to all. Have someone hold you by the lower jaw
and lift you horizantally, or there 'bouts off the ground. Or just grab
you around the stomach as squish you tightly and hold you the same way. .
Fish bladders are there for a reason. Ya can't squish hard into the tummy.
.. ..uhh . . . if you have a fish bladder.

Gorgeous photos of what looks like a great trip. I've been looking forward
to your report since reading Dave's, just for comparison sake.

Those are some fine looking fish! Thanks for putting the report together.

No. You're thinking of sharks. :-)
