My parents came for a fun visit in June. We took them up north to Talkeetna for a salmon fishing trip on the Talkeetna River, supposedly a superb fishing location. The drive took about 6 or 7 hours, and was gorgeously sunny the whole way. We took a water taxi up the river to the prime fishing spot and got ready for the fun, pictured above.
Tyler, Dad, and I all tried our hand at salmon fishing. The trick is to anger the salmon enough that he wants to attack your lure.
We saw a lot of giant fish, but couldn't entice them. We tried many different setups, here Dad's changing out the tackle.
Mom and Dad playing with Gretel while we waited for the taxi. No fish, but a gorgeous trip in the Alaskan wilderness!
