Well we are back from 27 glorious days in Alaska. What a trip, we want to go again and it's in the planning stage right now. I really want to thank Bob (AKaviator) for all his advice and help. We had a couple of great fishing trips with him. Saw lots of wildlife (tons of moose, caribou, brown & black bear, lynx, and all kinds of waterfowl. Learned a lot about their kind of fishing and clamming and brought home some great eating too.
Everyone needs to visit Alaska once for sure.

Headed there the 4th for a week, got a lot of fishing and hiking planned. Any "must-do" things in Anchorage/Seward area?

Seems everyone is going! It's on my list! Will be following your trip. Have fun Codak!
In Seward, I would go on one of the 5 hr glacier cruises. Scenery is awesome! Homer is also a cool place. Kings should be running on the Kenai also. Where are you staying?

We have been going back and forth on the glacier cruise. Who did you go with? May have to look into it. We will be in Anchorage for two days then heading to Seward in an AirBnB for 5. 2 full days out chasing butts and trying to find salmon/bows/grays on the fly inbetween. Have a few hike n fishings planned and may hit a day either N or S of Anchorage to hit a run

The cruise company was Kenai Fjords Tours. If you are pressed for time, this would be something to leave out. My wife wanted to go and we had tons of time, so it was on the schedule. Lots of great scenery and a good lunch.
When you drive from Anchorage to Seward, you'll go thru the little town of Moose Pass. There is a flying service there that you might consider using if you like grayling. A short flight to Upper Paradise Lake would get you into some good grayling fishing and beautiful scenery. Crescent lake has good grayling also.

Less than a month until the wife and I head north. Not looking forward to dealing with the commercial airlines, but I can’t wait to get on the water!
Well we are going back! Just booked our airline tickets and fishing trips. Staying a week with Catch-A-King Charters in SE Alaska at Craig on Prince of Wales Island.. Fish for 4 days. Going the first week of August, the Coho run should be full bore. Kings, Halibut & lings also. They have the full package boats, guides, lodge and meals. Going with another couple who are lifelong friends and have fished there before.
Alaska is addicting!!!

Sad deal....just cancelled our trip to Alaska this summer because of this covid-19 crap. The couple going with us are really leary about it because the guy (I've know him for 50 years) has a kidney replacement and he has to really be careful because of the anti rejection drugs he takes. My wife wants to reschedule it too. Alaska just extended their 14 day quarantine for travelers also.

The fishing/lodge business my not even operate this year. The owners are really considering cancelling the whole season. Next year.....for sure.
No worries buddy! You'll be back next year and the lingcod and halibut will be that much bigger!

Look at the plus side of going next year............there should be more room in your freezer for all that delicious fish that you plan on bringing home.

Yeah, more room in the freezer means you can catch even bigger fish !
