First 2007 King

Hello to all!

I hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying their summer. Things are moving right along up here in the metropolis of Copper Center, AK. It seems that summer has finally arrived. The grass is lush and green and the flowers are blooming everywhere. I'm looking forward to getting out and enjoying everything that the area has to offer.


Recently, I had the task of auditing one of our tour operators. Gosh, the hardships...We went out on the Gulkana River, a clear running river about 30 minutes north of our Lodge. We boarded our jetboat and jetted down to the mouth where it converges with the Copper River. Within 5 minutes of my line being in the water, I had a fish on. It was a pretty short and easy fight, but fun nonetheless. We continued to fish for about an hour and a half. Each of us caught our limit. (For King Salmon, that's one per person). My fish was about 24 lbs. The others were about 35 and 20.


Overall, a great day of fishing, and we were home by 9:30 am.
