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!

Fishing in Bristol Bay is not your everyday experience. The Brown bears in Bristol Bay are in simple terms mammoth, plentiful and very well fed! Now I know their Kodiak cousins are among this elite breed of bears and break many world records in size...but I also know their Bristol Bay cousins can hold their own in this category. The streams are teeming with the freshest Grade A sushi imaginable; the tundra is a reef of berries, bushes and succulent whatever. It is truly a remarkable assault of adrenaline to come across these bewilderingly magnificent animals. And yes because you ordered today...you get the remnants of what we call Survival of the Fittest.

So damn close were these triplets
