Alaska Trip day 13

Last day on the Russian. Got some late run red salmon. The fish were hard to see -- silver shadows in among the old red fish from the first run.

Alaska Trip day 12

Went down to the Anchor river for some silver salmon and steelhead. Got one steelhead and a couple of silvers.

Alaska Trip day 11

Floated the Kenai river. Caught tons of dolly varden and rainbows. All catch and release of course!

Alaska Trip day 10

Hiked up to an alpine lake for grayling. Got one -- all of 3 cm long!!!

Alaska Trip day 9

Went back to the Russian river. Fished all day at quartz creek. The view from our campsite at midnight.

Alaska Trip day 8

Went to the matanuska lakes area for some pike. No luck.

Alaska Trip day 7

Hiked down to the mouth of Willow Creek (campground area pictured). LOTS of fish. But we didnt have much luck.

Alaska Trip day 6

Dad with a 'dog' salmon from Montana Creek.  Blue flies were the key -- anything that was blue was attacked by the chum!

Alaska Trip day 5

Drove up to willow creek and stayed at the camp ground. There were tame bunny rabbits everywhere. We asked what happens to them during winter -- the reply was 'the wolves come down from the mountains and eat them'

Alaska Trip day 4

Another day at Quartz creek. Then drove up through anchorage to Willow creek.

Alaska Trip day 3

Fished Quartz creek. We were aiming for dolly varden, but kept hooking up on the old red salmon. They still put up a hell of a fight!!! My dad with a nice red.

Alaska Trip Day 2

Went to hope to fish for Pink Salmon. Let them all go, as pinks arent considered good eating, especially when they have started to change and get a hump. And there was a crowd, as you can see. But the river was full of fish!!!!

Alaska Trip Day 1

Hired a car. Bought supplies at Walmart. Drove down to the Russian river campground to set up camp, fishing at quartz creek along the way.
