AK Laker-36"

ASL Guide Schuyler and ASL Guest Rick

Fishing the mouth of a lake can deliver some surprising catches. Although the target this day was rainbow's and we certainly caught a quiver of them...we weren't too terribly disappointed when this beautiful lake Trout ended up on the end of Rick's line. Nice Job!

BAM!!! OPENER!

29.62" Bud Fackrell, ASL guide Schuyler

First 2010 orientation...
A couple fine Bristol Bay mornings...

We've been working and preparing for 8 months for this week to come and we are thrilled it is here. Remnants of winter from Lake Iliamna greet us as we rev up the engines on the boats, turn the plane props, and grab a few rods to see what the river has to offer. As sure as the sun rises in the East we are not disappointed. It is so quiet out here on the river the only sound that rises is the river's body wrapping around the silhouettes of our boats and gently passing under the floats of our planes. We truly celebrate what an incredible playground we have and that we are able to share this playground with our friends...

Cheers to 2010 season at Alaska Sportsman's Lodge...we'll see you soon.
