Blue(r) Skies Report : August 20 – 27, 2010
The skies have temporarily parted and sure enough, there were fish in the river. Which we knew, but now we could actually see them. And boy were there lots of them. The Pak almost became a place to avoid due to the ridiculous numbers of Arctic Char being caught on each drift. It seemed that you had to work your way through the Char to get at the big Rainbow Trout that were lurking amongst the spawning Sockeye salmon. Seeing the fish was great, but... [Read More...]
BIBLICAL FISHING REPORT AUG. 13 – 20, 2010
Genesis 7:12 The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights… and I will make the water cometh up and floweth over the damn river banks. And turn the once the sparkling clear streams into chocolaty swirls of mud. To make matters worse, Dale tried to call Noah and only got his voice-mail. According to his FaceBook page, Noah and the fam were off on a tropical cruise or something. So our camp hands then offered to fill in and build the... [Read More...]
ALEKNAGIK TRIANGLE : August 6 – 13, 2010

They were lucky enough or un-lucky enough to arrive on the heals of some of the worst July weather anyone, and I mean anyone, has ever seen. The elder natives of our village were shaking there heads in disgust. A couple of them were even seen boarding jets bound for Hawaii –... [Read More...]

Team Polar Bear Report : July 9 – 16, 2010
For the sixth straight year we were lucky enough to play host to John Chambers and his high energy team. Talking with the group, they all feel lucky to get picked for what has become an amazing team building experience. This not one of those cheesy and often akward team building programs consisting of rope courses and group singing of kumbya [although if that was on our karaoke list it might have come up]. Instead we let the magic of Mission Lodge... [Read More...]
