Alaskan Cruise - July 2005

Day 4 - King Salmon Fishing & Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge

An hour long bus ride to the town of Talkeetna ended with a one day Alaska fishing license and king salmon stamp. A short jet boat ride later and we were on the banks of Clear Creek fishing for king salmon. Two kings were landed with the heaviest being 26 pounds. Melissa had what the guide estimated to be a 35-40 pounder on the line but it got off the line after ten minutes of solid fighting. We took the bus back to the Lodge, had dinner, explored the grounds of the Lodge a bit and called it a night.
