As with any fishing trip, the anticipation of the adventure hits in about a month beforehand. Reels are inspect, greased, and spooled with new line. New lures are bought because one cannot find the hot lures from last year. Waders are checked for leaks. The weather is constantly checked to make sure the correct clothes are brought. Bags are packed and unpacked numerous times, then weighed to make sure they comply with airline regulations. Soon, my 30th year to the Alaska Peninsula will come about. The silver salmon fishing is simply amazing, After landing over 10,000 silvers this will probably be my last trip to this great land. Long time friend and owner of Pumice Creek Lodge, Gary LaRose, is shutting the doors to fishing.
After being in the business for 50 years, Gary is going to start to enjoy his summers. He will, however, remain open for spring or fall brown bear hunts. Pumice Creek Lodge has set the bar too high as another Alaska adventure would definitely be a disappointment.
A BIG thanks to Gary and head guide Rudy for the fantastic adventures up north! Am sure the upcoming trip will be the best ever! See you guys soon!
