Today J.J. and I along with four other people in our group flew on a float plane to the Nushagak River to fish for Salmon. Altogether we ended up catching about 15 fish that ranged from 10 to 30 pounds. J.J. was the big winner catching the trophy fish. His king salmon was 38 inches long and weighed 30 pounds.We brought back to the lodge over 50 pounds of fresh caught wild king salmon.
In addition to the fishing we saw at least 7 bald eagles, several moose - including two that swam acrossed the river near our boat, and a mother bear and her cubs. The flight from the lodge to the river took about an hour over the Alaskan Tundra, which was covered with animal trails. In about a month close to 1,000,000 Caribou will migrate through the area headed north for food.
Enjoy the photos.
