Notes

Fished six days with Mike, we both caught a bunch of fish, my largest was a 28 inch bow, I caught my first greyling ever on a flesh pattern. Mike, caught some big fish as well. We fished with Mike's ,son Bryan one day, he really knows the river and put us on the fish after our first day of working hard to find them. We fished another day with Ed holesten, a retired Forrest Service guy, with ties to north and South Dakota, and a great guy. I fished with Ed, one other time for Steelhead, on the Situk River. I have been going to Alaska to fish with Mike for over ten years, my best friend Bart, was his business partner and was unable to come on this trip, I hope he can next year.
