Waiting

Dad got into town on Friday.  I had hoped that the rivers would be full of pinks and chum by now, but things seems to be running a bit late this year.  We've been flogging the water, but its been dollies, rainbow and grayling thus far.  Not quite the easy pickings I had in mind, but it'll do.  Karta doesn't seem to mind the late runs:


Evan went out with us yesterday and, while he out-fished the rest of us, my camera didn't seem to keep up so this was the only shot I got of him in action:
Then the weather turned:

The mountains around Anchorage registered over 800" of snow this past winter and you can still find snow hiding near sea level in some places. I almost chose this year to go for my goal of skiing every month of the year.

While you all may have not found any lunkers, i must admit i really love grayling and dollies. And having a backdrop like that to entertain you between fish is truly something to admire. Well glad to see you guys are getting out and finding something to pull on the other end.
