[Chromeslayer]

well i just returned from a 10 day stay in Yakutat, Alaska fishing the Situk River for wild run steelhead.. let me tell you guys if you ever get a chance to go.. DO IT!!! the run wasnt in full swing yet but we did well and it got better as the trip went on!! fishing up there is basically the same as here... jigs, yarn flies, beads, pink worms all worked.. heres some of the pics

the drive into the river

the first fish came within minutes of hitting the river

there was 4 bears together 3 cubs and a momma.. heres a cub.. got some excellent video of all 4

the veiw from the lodge

bald eagles were EVERYWHERE!

That is CRAZY! Awesome fish bro, did you catch any small fish or what? I havent fished in weeks, or longer cant remember, and now i have to think about all those fish. I hope to get up there someday. It seems like a trip of a lifetime, i would rather be there than anywhere else, thanks for sharing those pics.

Chrome, nice pics as others have mentioned. Just out of curiosity, which airport did you fly out of and into? I'm wanting to go Alaska soon, and last I looked into had me going into Seattle then onto Alaska. I was looking into the Kenai area though-
