Consider yourself invited. One week is around $3000, with about $600
more for travel. Come a day early and you can stay in the Peter
Charles Suite and be the 15th person to "sign the wall."



No, no, I didn't mean "here's the dates" invited, I
meant "Hey Forty, I'm richer than Croesus come join
me in Labrador and the tab's on me" invited. ;-)


If you want wild and scenic, for $3000 each you can do a 12-day float in
Alaska, including travel, and have money left over.

Of course, I'd rather apologize on ROFF than spend 12 minutes, let alone
12 days, with either you or LaCourse.

Gawd, what a ****in' putz.

The putz hijacks a thread and then crossposts
it to roff.

That's pathetic even for a putz.

Gawd, what a ****in' putz.

Of course it's ethical. The thread that started on abpf morphed into
something perfectly on-topic for roff.

In fact, Willi and Chas and Chas's son Andy and I are going on a 12-day
float of the Kanektok in Alaska in late August/early September. Willi's
done a masterfully thorough job of planning the trip, and it's going to
be dirt cheap for what we're doing.

I noticed after we returned from Belize that there were some snarky
comments on ROFF to the effect that "some of us can't afford to do that
kind of stuff." Well, if you do the research and plan carefully, you can
do it for far less than you might think. If you need someone to cook for
you, to change your sheets, to wipe your ass or whatever, it's going to
cost you. But if you're resourceful, imaginative, and energetic you can
do major fishing trips without breaking the bank.

merciful snip

Huh? What the hell does that have to do with Forty's post on the
Middle Fork? Did you cross-post to roff to get attention? Forty and
I were have a little fun with each other and you have to step in and
corrupt the thread with your selfishness and foolishness.

Simply unbelievable. I admire Fortenberry's ability to correctly
judge character.

Do tell! Tell us more about your plans, and the budget. I would
dearly love to do a trip like that sometime.


You can google "kanektok" and find out nearly as much as we know about
it. It's supposed to be a great flyfishing river, and the float is
supposed to be easy (i.e., no big rapids). We fly out of Bethel to put
out in at Pigati Lake. The upper part of the river is supposed to be
very scenic and to have good char and grayling fishing, the middle
braided part is supposed to have good rainbow fishing, and the middle
and lower parts are supposed to have good silver fishing in that time
frame (late August/early September). We'll see.

As far as the budget, I'm not going to post any figures right now --
maybe after the trip. Not using guides cuts the cost WAY down.

If this turns out to be a good trip and a good value, I'd like to go
back next year with a bigger group. Or maybe go to one of the other
great rivers in the region.

For the life of me, I do not understand your motivation in hijacking
this thread from abpf, crossposting to roff, and writing this gem. It
seems like you're stirring the pot of bitterness to bring the worst to
the surface, but maybe I'm wrong and there is another reason. Could you
please explain?
