Did I tell you about the fish that started it all?? We hiked in to Silver Lake, Mel set up his fishing rod, cast it a few times and the top of the rod flew off into the water when he cast. Very good laughs and he did catch a fish!
The very wide Chitna River once again - so very silty but very wide.
Dave & Leslie's chairs from winefest at Silver Lake. From Coopersburg to Alaska they come in handy and bring us fond memories of family.
Mel having fun getting ready to fish. Can I tell you how many laughs we had.
Getting ready to cast. Silver Lake is stocked with trout and there have been very large ones caught here, but he didn't catch one.
The native alaskans can fish with fish wheels and since the rivers are so full of silt this is the best way. The natives were awarded 10 miles in for their lands. They can catch up to 300 pounds of salmon this way.
Will this day end up the fish story of all times? No really it was this big.........!
