Went up to Glennallen, Alaska for a short term missions trip with the church, and managed to get out for a guided salmon trip on the Klutina River. It was an awesome time, had a Great Guide. In a group of four we each managed a king, one of my buddies landed 3. It has been rainy in Alaska this summer so the run has been week, but we managed to land 6.
Casting egg sacks in a pool for kings....

Took some time off from casting for kings to fly fish for some Greyling....

While the guide was fileting I managed to hook into a red salmon with the fly rod, it gave a great fight but was foul hooked so I had to let it go. Again, this was a trip of a life time, if anyone needs a Great guide I know one. We are going to try to get him here in Maine for a Turkey hunt!!
