Fishing The Chilkat Beautiful day however a little too windy for my fly rod. The water is muddy so I did not see any fish. The eagles are eating so I know the salmon are there.

Then don’t give us... Continue Reading →

Day 55: Kuskulana River, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park So here we are in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. This only became a park in 1980, and it is mixed in with private land and national wildlife preserve land, and some state land. The only way to get into the interior of the park is via...
