Jungle Steelhead...























Looking at the river, looking at the blowdowns, looking at the snags....

The question was obvious.   When and or if we hook one of these jungle steelhead, how the hell are we going to land it?

Prince of Wales Island in Alaska is so different than anywhere I've ever experienced that I am still trying to mentally sort through it all
























Slogging through the trails that ended up in a real march through the muskegs...

Seeing pods of fish materialize in the tannic water...

Sharing a laugh at our lack of success, ready for more opportunity..

Like any steelhead, these SE Alaskan fish don't give up the goods easy.  The ones we hooked, regardless of if we landed them or not left a serious imprint on our collective memories.
