Alaska Chronicles - The First

Well, this is the start of my blog. Not sure where to begin. It's almost November and the weather is very mild here in South Central Alaska (Anchorage). However, I did manage to pick up a rather substantial cold last weekend while fishing for the last of the Silver salmon on the Kenai River. Took a break from working on my log cabin and ran to the water's edge after my brother in law caught a huge chromer (at least 12 lbs). No coat and sweating in the snow...not a good idea. Got a couple of hits but no hook ups in a 1/2 hr effort. Season ends Oct 31st after being extended for an extra month because of a large run. We've had a great fishing season on the Kenai with our freezer full of sockeyes, kings, and silvers. As we got a 66 inch bull moose at our Bristol Bay area camp, I don't think we'll starve this Winter. More later.
