Happy Summer Solstice!!

[AK Troutbum]

With about 20 hrs. of sunlight, this may just be one of my favorite days of the year. This year’s 1st day of summer did not disappoint, with a T-max of 74° and a nice breeze! I spent a big portion of the day at the range sighting in a new 6.5 Creedmoor, then capped the day off with a hearty meal of sheep backstrap, halibut cheeks, baked potato with sour cream, mixed vegetables, and a lovely Fresh Squeezed IPA. Gotta love summer time!

300 miles west south west on the Nush today. Three sports hooked and landed 30 kings, 1/2 dozen chums and a couple of dollies. I’m going to bed, all the guests are hanging on the deck drinking bear and looking for bears.

I guess that's what you get for fishing the river that boasts the largest king salmon run in Alaska (and maybe the world).

I despise Summer. 95' and 400% humidity down here.
I have to carry around a hand towel to wipe the sweat.

I’m on the Nush as well, stuck working.

Did it again today, no big kings only 20 to 25 pounders, but it’s on fire. Love summer solstice in Bristol bay.

I got snowed on in MT scouting elk. Weird year.

Bristol bay is awesome, I love it. Caught a ton of reds and Kong’s in my subsistence net. So many that I’m not even putting the net it for awhile.

Do you live in the area or just visit???

Live here in the summer, Oregon in the winter, pretty much every year since 1959.

Nice, I live here year round. Probably end up in Fairbanks at some point but for now this is where it’s at.

We moved to Fairbanks in 59, lived on base. God I had a lot of fun there as a kid. I think you’ll enjoy it.
