Nobody But Me

This past Saturday I was dropped off at Turquoise Lake for a couple of hours while the floatplane shuttled some clients down from another lake. I managed to beat the water with my fly-rod for awhile, catch a few Grayling, hike a short way around the shoreline, and tried to take a short nap that kept getting rudely interrupted by hordes of Mosquitoes and Gnats. The floatplane returned, dropped off the clients, picked me up and off we went, thus ending my brief brush with solitude.

Keep Fishin'

This Spring a crew from Icon Films came to shoot an episode of "River Monsters" from Animal Planet. They conducted multiple interviews with people in the surrounding villages regarding the Lake Clark and Iliamna Lake Monsters, filmed some re-enactments of some of their stories, and did some fishing for monsters of their own. Did they find them? You'll have to tune in to the episode to find out.

On location - Lights! Camera! Action!

High on the Mountain

This past week we were blessed by having some of our friends from Kansas fly up, and out to visit us. We were able to squeeze in quite a few adventures from blueberry picking to mountain climbing. Hopefully they had as much fun with us as we had with them. Thanks for coming!
