| With the excitement of my first trip to
| |
| | at Disneyland?Are King Salmon going to
|
| Alaska still fresh and percolating in my
| |
| | electronically rise out of the water,
|
| mind, I can hardly keep from telling
| |
| | jaws agape? Will our guide fend off bears
|
| fishing friends and aquaintances of my
| |
| | with his bare hands while we cower
|
| ensuing trip.As you would well expect, it
| |
| | beneath some Douglas fir tree?
|
| draws different and varied responses from
| |
| | Is the Kenai a trout pond?This Alaskan
|
| those that I tell.
| |
| | "one ups-manship" is something that is
|
| Tom, a softball teammate and avid
| |
| | becoming quite common. Once upon a time,
|
| fisherman, and I were celebrating a post
| |
| | the Kenai was the benchmark river and
|
| game loss (we celebrate win or lose!) at
| |
| | destination of choice for most
|
| a local pizza parlor, when I mentioned to
| |
| | adventurers headed to Alaska. But now it
|
| him that I was headed to Alaska.Tom is a
| |
| | appears that in this day of wild exotic
|
| veteran of several fishing trips to
| |
| | fishing adventures, that the Kenai is
|
| Alaska, and I was anxious to hear some of
| |
| | looked upon like some "dude ranch"fishing
|
| his accounts of past trips to the" land
| |
| | experience, not worthy of the "Admiral
|
| of many fish"."Where you headed to?" Tom
| |
| | Peary" like adventures that exist
|
| asked politely."The upper Kenai." I
| |
| | elsewhere in Alaska!!Well, excuse me,
|
| replied."Oh. Yeah it's quite a zoo
| |
| | Captain Cook--for not getting there
|
| there." He said matter of
| |
| | earlier, but I still think my fish will
|
| factly.Suddenly, I felt like I had just
| |
| | barbeque up just as well as yours, and I
|
| told him that I was going fishing in the
| |
| | won't have to contemplate eating my
|
| sporting goods department at our local
| |
| | fishing partners if the trip takes a turn
|
| Wal-Mart store."Yeah, we are headed up to
| |
| | for the worse. So
|
| the Kisaralik for an eight day wilderness
| |
| | there,plehhhhh...Anyway, his trip sounds
|
| float. Fly in, get dropped off and won't
| |
| | fantastic, and if I have to settle for
|
| see civalization for the next eight
| |
| | starting my Alaskan dreams on the lowly
|
| days." It seemed like he was boasting
| |
| | Kenai, while he catches some three
|
| now.It felt like I was back in junior
| |
| | hundred different species of fish...so be
|
| high,and some kid was telling me that his
| |
| | it.I am still excited.Besides, I already
|
| dog was better than mine--or that I had
| |
| | have my brochure for the next fishing
|
| just rode up on a brand new Huffy
| |
| | trip to Alaska, where I take a dog sled
|
| stingray bicycle only to see that my
| |
| | team fifteen hundred miles north, then
|
| friend had a brand new Schwinn. O.K-- so
| |
| | ride a Moose for two miles and sleep with
|
| I guess I am ONLY going to the Kenai
| |
| | Albino Grizzlies. All that, to get to the
|
| now.A good starter river, I
| |
| | rare LOCH NESS SALMON-- that only one
|
| guess."Where's the Kisaralik?" I asked,
| |
| | human has ever even seen!!!Top that
|
| trying not to sound to deflated."Up in
| |
| | Tom.A.J. is a writer of fishing humor as
|
| the interior, tundra, big bears, big
| |
| | well a peddler of "fly tacks", the
|
| guns, some class IV rapids and were doing
| |
| | greatest invention since the Runcible

| it ourselves,- no guide."O.K., now he
