Alaska 2010



Headed to Copper City for King and Red Salmon

Headed to Seward for halibut, salmon, and sharks.

One of the many glaciers in Alaska

South of Anchorage...headed towards Turnagain Arm on the Seward Highway


Tide is out....way out!
The head waters of the Kenai...Kenai Lake.

Our catch from our charter out of Seward. Ken (green coat) landed the big one @ 130lbs!

This charter was all Alaska...4-6 foot rollers, wind, and sideways rain.
Halibut from the Cook Inlet....no big one like in Seward, but we all got our limit of two.
The largest here was about 30lbs.

Using the Sage 9wt for Red Salmon on the Upper Kenai...got one on but he got away.
Regardless it was a fun 5 minutes!


After a week of tents...we earned a free night in this awesome lodge in Seward for our last night in Alaska.

Sitting on our rental truck holding our nearly 500lbs of fish!
From Top to Bottom...Kyle (Ken's son), Josh (Kyle's friend), Me, and Ken.
This trip celebrated a pair of 21st and 50th birthdays.
You can figure out the rest....


Kenai Lake
more of Kenai Lake

One last look at Alaska from some flight level at 9:30pm!
