Alaska Trip
 
6 Attachment(s)
My wife and I made it back to town on the red eye early on Tuesday morning. We stayed in Soldotna, Ak at the Spruce Wood Lodge. We spent two days fishing for Silver Salmon (limit is two per person) and rainbow trout (catch and release only) and one day fishing for Halibut (also 2 per person). Lastly, we were able to take a Glacier boat tour and also raft down the Kenai river. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Believe it or not alot of people were wade fishing. The water comes from the local glaciers so it is VERY cold, the guide told me right now the water was in the low 40s and colder near the Glacier.

I've fished the kenai river & for halibut out of homer before, I love it up there.
I wish more states were like AK, lots of freedom.

Not much the meat is similiar, Halibut has different eyes and are found offshore in deep water and get MUCH bigger. The world record is over 400Lb.

We caught five rainbows around the size of the one in my picture plus a ton of small ones. We only had 4 -5 hours of darkness, it was still bright at 10:30.
