Alaska Day #3





Today J.J. and I went fishing on the Copper River - a place designated as a blue ribbon trout stream. Only fly fishing is allowed and everything is catch and release. The only drawback today was that it was very cold and it rained most of the day. Fortunately it warmed up in the afternoon. We saw several bald eagles again today.

Together J.J. and I caught about 10 fish. We each caught several large fish - we both caught a rainbow trout that was between 23 and 24 inches and weighed around 4 pounds. That was pretty fun - especially with a fly rod. We both have sore arms and hands from casting. Obviously we haven't spent enough time developing our fishing muscles.

Enjoy the pictures
