“Give Me Some Knucks On That One….”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znEjD1WdRP0 GoPros and smart phones are everywhere. Because of that, you never know where you might show up. Case in point. I was on YouTube this week and up popped a video called “Silver Salmon on the Kenai Peninsula” posted by Hogan in the Wild. I watched it …
What Do You Do In The Winter?
When I’m guiding on the Kenai River I’m often asked what do I do in the winter time. My answer: I fish. I don’t guide in the winter, but I go ice fishing because I love it. I’ve been ice an fisherman my entire life. To say I’m passionate about it is an understatement. As soon as I put my boat away, I …
New World Record King Salmon?

Spruce Bark Beetle
Making firewood. One of my fall projects has been cutting down beetle infested spruce trees. It isn’t something I wanted to do, but dead trees pose multiple hazards and I don’t want to test the coverage of our insurance policy. I love trees, so it’s sad to see so many large spruce trees disappear. Oh well, at least there …
A Message From Jane

Keith and I also feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to share in several guests first adventures in AK and on the …
Thank You’s, Part 2

Thank You’s, Part 1.
Now that the 2021 season is over, Jane and I can sit back and reflect on our year. We definitely had a busy summer. It didn’t quite reach prepandemic levels, but it was close. We were fortunate to have so many people come back to see us. We also appreciate the guests who chose to stay and fish with us for the first …
