[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2596312, member: 8394"] Spent some patches over my youths in and out of the Bristol Bay watershed, king salmon was the main stop off point to my village. Seems like every time I've fiddled around on the North side of the peninsula my Xtra tuffs were waaay to short. Do the pilot point, to king salmon flight and it will make Minnesotas land of ten thousand lakes seem like rookie numbers... whole top side is a big sponge until you get north of Dillingham. It's been mentioned before, ak requires bone in field processing. While the big 70inch monsters my grandfather saw in the 50s are rare, they are still some big bodied critters. Packing a quarter out can be as awkward as it is heavy, a feature worth keeping in mind when selecting features. Side note It's been an abnormal weather year, winter was intense and long. Summer roared in with July like heat in May and June. Half way through July it switched to October, only consistent has been wind. Normally the systems pick a side and roll either north or south, this year its felt like the crawled up the peninsula making both sides miserable. Think this is my record for days lost due to weather, if ever there was a year to toss in an extra base layer a few extra socks and a second rain jacket this is it. Hope it's a good trip, reading this has brought back some fun memories... [/QUOTE]
