DRIFTER_016 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have been living the trout bum life in Alaska since Labour day and this has been the nicest September in many years. We have had over 3 weeks of sunny and warm days in a row. All that has come to an end and there is now some rain and termination dust on the mountain tops (won't be long until we have snow on the ground). I will be heading home at the end of next week but here is a little teaser of some of the feesh we have put on the bank so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsTheBassMan Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I don't know whether to applaud you or cry of envy - that is some way to roll! Beautiful pictures, beautiful fish, and a sweet report (even for a teaser). Alaska is first on my checklist for fishing destination trips. Have you considered taking a day to go out for some monster Halibut while you're there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered taking a day to go out for some monster Halibut while you're there? Wrong time of year for the big boy's. They start migrating to deep water in late August. Weather conditions are usually pretty sketchy this time of year also. There are still plenty of 10# to 40# fish around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
