Doug just got back from a 10-day fishing trip to Alaska. One of his buddies, John, lives near Kenai, AK and has wanted Doug to come fishing for years. He finally got the chance this summer and want a opportunity! Here are some pictures from his trip. He took so many that I had to make a few executive decisions about which ones made the blog.
This is Doug and John by the fishing boat. It doesn't have a motor so the only way to make it "go" was by oars or just going with the current of the river. If they caught a fish from the boat, they had to go to shore to bring it in. The fish were too big to reel in from the boat!

And after the catch, comes cleaning and filleting the fish. This is from just one salmon.
Doug learned a few new methods of fishing as well. This is called "dip-netting".

And this is called "combat fishing" simply from the volume of people who are competing for the fish along the shore.
They also went clamming. This involved using a "clam sucker" to suck the clams out of the dirt. Doug said he got pretty good at it!
And these are what the clams look like after the catch.
Some of the wildlife Doug saw while he was there. The moose picture was taken from John's garage.
A bald eagle
And finally...the scenery is amazing!
