Farewell Alaska


Well, we wrapped up the Alaska fishing by all limiting out on fast-running, high-flying sockeye salmon. It was a fun morning with sometimes-furious action.

My favorite part of the morning, though, was getting to fish with outfitter Mike Flores' 16-year-old son Daniel. Beyond showing exceptional skill at the technique we were using, he was quick to share what he knew, run for the net or help anyone else out any way he could, and he was simply great company. No doubt he'll be guiding in a few more years.

We'll stay in Anchorage tonight and start the long journey home tomorrow morning. My first trip to Alaska has been an outstanding experience.
