Family's cabin and without hopefully catch some silver salmon tonight and be having fresh grilled salmon but the person starts by a plan B just to pay sniffing   Rotech food reindeer bagel dog baby that reindeer used to laugh and qualify.

Fabien Tommy I love you guys    you guys like these bozos yeah that's growing up bad and look at the loft yeah pretty nice huh as it is are beavers see this is a beaver hides there's the bear claws you like that.

Yeah there yo there's some whale baleen and some ducks that we shot in Arkansas trout from the Katmai River yeah I carved that when I was in high school I don't know whose deer that is being Uncle Jim's  hey I can't believe we're in Alaska fish it to is it it great all the river looks.

A little high but not bad at all all right we don't want any beer here  Tommy are you cold the door a guy I could be fixed up he picks up mommy I'm sorry you're not feeling a little bud okay we'll go get you dry  long nosed sucker closest thing to a.

Carp we get in Alaska anywhere you find salmon and even a few places you don't you generally find these and you got a mouth on the bottom of their chin great at detecting salmon eggs and eating they love to eat salmon eggs so if you're fishing for salmon with salmon eggs they'll often catch these good-sized little fish though it's about a normal.

Size full-grown one they get a little bigger than this but not too often but a great fish back well I've been fishing here for about two hours and so far I haven't seen any salmon I haven't seen anything run or jumper not really any bites I could say that's a salmon I've gotten a lot of little nibbles which probably Dolly Varden or white fish or.

Bourbon or grayling good who knows it's been a little bit of a slow year from what I hear and I'm also a little bit late that's the real nail biter is this is the third week of August and normally the first week of August is the sweet time that you want to be here so hopefully I haven't missed the salmon run but mornings are often best and it's.

Evening it's slowly getting dark so maybe tomorrow morning I'll have a little bit better luck we'll see what happens that my friends is a silver salmon oh my goodness I think the school just came well I gotta get another rig out there the schools in thick I was just in the middle of telling you guys how slow it.

Was and WHAM the by alarm goes off and I catch this pretty little silver salmon get the hook out throw my rig back out there and before I've even done another fish no I'm just getting another bite this is how it is you know it's absolutely nothing going on then a school of them comes in and it's red hot with salmon it's all about timing it.

Doesn't matter how good of a fisherman you are if you're not in the right spot at the right time you're not gonna catch anything and frankly when you're in the right spot at the right time it's hard to miss it's really hard to screw it up well I've been in Alaska for 24 hours now and I already have four salmon fillets so things are off to a good.

Start this is gonna be it's gonna be a good trip ran out of daylight but I'm gonna try to get some sleep get up early and see if we can't catch some more tomorrow morning will taught me filling the river he got himself pretty wet so I got to dry his socks out before tomorrow so not quite sure this microwave doesn't have a sock setting so I'm gonna give it.

A minute or two see if that helps all right it's a beautiful morning it's a little before 7:00 a.m. and I'm gonna go see if we can't get some more salmon oh I'm really I'm gonna have to sleep sometime during this trip but it's not gonna be today you can catch them in the middle of the day but man right around sunrise.

Is the best fortunately sunrise in the summertime in Alaska is very early so yeah this a beautiful spot but this is bear country in the middle of salmon season so I'm a packin my heat got a can of bear mace the Alaskan state bird the mosquito suckers are huge up here what a great way to spend the morning I just had a ball cash in this sucker all right.
