Re: First trip to AK
You'll be back !

Booked my first hunt up there a few years ago, been back two more times, and just booked a grizz hunt for next spring in western AK.

It's beautiful country and there's a whole lot of it to see.


Brooks range kinda interests me. May have to check it out next.

I've got my first trip to Alaska coming up. We leave this Sunday morning. Can't wait!! Salmon and Brown bears will it get any better than that?

I'll be headed to the Trapper Creek area. First thing Sunday morning.

Everybody I have talked to can't wait to go back. I hope our trip works out the same.

Don't worry we aren't a bunch of tree hugging wackos. We respect the property of others and expect the same in return.

Regards

dwhunter,
you bring back old memories.Meself and friends used to take an annual fishing pilgrimage to the Kenai for years.
Took us some time to figure that fishing isnt what its advertised to be.
While they probably still have nice salmon runs,they surely have more boats then salmon on the river :>.
Always enjoyed the trips to Homer too,lovely country,but in the final end its more a tourist trap than fishing trip.
We mean to go elsewhere,where they actually have and allow fishing but havent found a solid location yet.

It is still a good place to fish for rainbows, halibut and a few other species. Even though the fishing is not what it was 20 years ago I still love to go to the area. I really enjoy taking people that have never gone before, the drive from Anchorage and all the way down the peninsula is still as nice as ever.
