Just over a week to go

The Royal Coachman Lodge

I can hardly believe this trip is so close. Thanks to The Reel John Montana I will find out if a carp fisherman can still catch trout...and salmon...and char...and grayling (and I secretly want to try for a sheefish if possible).

A week in the wilderness of Alaska with my dad. We will have some stories to tell.

I had to Google Sheefish. The “Tarpon of the North” eh? Sounds kind of Carp-y. ;) Can't wait to hear the stories when you get back!

Yep...leave it to me to fly to Alaska, look a guide in the face and say, "anything to fish for besides trout and salmon?". Hah...

I am stoked for it all. I used to be a respectable trout angler...back to my roots!

Trying hard not to be jealous. Looking forward to the blog posts on this one.

I really can't wait. The thought of not talking to my kids and wife for a week is terrifying though.
