Pete,

They ain't rainbows, or even silvers. These were pretty small, and I had an 8 wt, so aside from trying to get them in before they bit off the fly, there wasn't much fight - set and skid 'em in pretty much.

Bettern nuttin, and if fairly matched to the tackle, apt to be a hoot. Ask SD or Lee S, they have both fished for them in places where they get LARGE!!!

In its native waters, Northern Pike are a great gamefish for any sportsman with an open mind and a love for the far north waters they inhabit. And they eat better than any salmonoid

Excellent report.

You guys really know how too put on an awesome fishing trip.

I can see I'm going to have to go to Alaska someday.

Thanks for the memories,Ed. For me it was truely the adventure I was looking for. Maybe next time we won't have them dump the beaver in the lake for us. We could have used the extra day in the lower river. One thing I want you to know is that I will row for you anytime or anyplace. After spending 10 days with this group I would do it again. In the story you forgot the part where Dave was holding the rope when you fell in just above S turn.

To the Kisaralik group: Ed,Dave,Greg,Troy & Dennis. Thank You for inviting me. Also, we did not break a rod on this trip.

Ed, I've always enjoyed reading between your lines. Your report is spot on.

I can knock you out of the boat and not even try. But then, what kind of trip would it be without that unexpected swim?

See you on the water - soon.

I never said a word - I forgot about it.....

Frank,

Thanks for the kind words. The kid said via e-mail that he was willing to do a run UP past Red Rocks. Haven't heard from him since....

I'll get in your boat any time, as well. YOU never got me wet....

Great report. Pretty freaky seeing Steve's Beaver upside down in the water like that.

What dates did you float?

We'll be floating the Kisaralik next Summer from August 11th to the 22nd. We've done a couple trips with Papa Bear. One on the Kwethluk and one on the Kenektok. This we be the first time on the Kisaralik. Any pointers, good campspots etc. you'd like to pass along would be appreciated.

stories about the campfires. Any attacking chairs? Chairs with attitudes? Chairs with death wish?

Great report, sure wish I was younger so I could go on such a trip..

Aside from good eating, if prepared correctly, I hear they make pretty good car antennas...
