This trip is definitely a GO Cool

I have been invited to speak at Midwest Mountaineering Fall Outdoor Adventure Expo, November 20-22, 2015. I will be speaking on 'Alaska River Fishing' in Hanson Hall #102 at 4:45pm on Saturday, November 21. Hanson Hall is part of the UM campus. Great venue. I'm always willing to meet with QJ folks before/after. Cool

Alaska has over 3000 rivers. Where and how to start?

'Alaska River Fishing' is for the beginner or experienced fisherman looking to experience world-class Alaskan rivers. I have been visiting and fishing Alaska since 2004. I do this on a budget and can share some ways to save money while not cutting corners on having a true Alaskan adventure. I discuss gear, tackle, tactics, and strategies for finding and catching salmon (5 species), rainbows, Arctic char, and Arctic grayling, all comprising an awesome slam. I hope to see you there. Is Alaska on your bucket list? It should be.

If there is anyone else considering this trip, we need to know by September 15, 2015. At that time, we need to lock numbers. Not saying there is no chance after that date, but it would take someone backing out. If you want to get in, post here AND send a PM to db. Thanks.

Patience is a requirement for any trip.

Everyone on the list OS kindly provided should now have access to the new AK forum. If I missed anyone or if anyone else thinks they may want to participate - please send me a short PM and I'll add you to the Alaska trip planning forum.

FWIW - It might be nice to let everyone in that forum know that you actually have access by checking in with a post there.

Oh and BTW - We need some POD's.

Good things come to those who wait... Patience is a requirement for this kind of trip. I appreciate db's willingness to create this special forum for our use. We've got two years...

Maybe the jokes on me. There is supposed to be a new forum created for those interested in planning our Alaska trip. It is in the Inukshuk Rendezvous. It is visible to those who have indicated an interest. I requested it to be a forum for information sharing to be invisible to general public.

I have posted some information regarding costs and Anchorage.

Perhaps a PM to db will unlock the door and enable you to see the light. Never thought I was the only one who could see it. FWIW, any inuks interested in doing this trip have my permission to view and post to this new forum. Cool

I got nada! Undecided

And I've checked a few times since you posted last night.

I'll send db a bullet.

Ditto... but it's not like QJ is db's full-time job. I'm sure he'll get around to a fix. Meanwhile, Old Salt, you're talking to yourself.

Jimbo Cool

Interested in learning more but a longshot at best. Didn't see anything in the rendezvous either.

Jimbo,
IF you can't outrun them, you need to outsmart them.
Bears can see colors like humans, but don't see reds and oranges very well. I'm thinking PINK falls in there somewhere. Wink

Quote:

Bears see color very well. We can tell this by the number and position of the rods and cones in their eyes. Rods collect light, and cones interpret color. Bears particularly see colors on the blue end of the spectrum very well. They may not see reds as well as we do, but definitely better than deer. Deer see blues and greens especially well, but do not see reds well at all. In fact, if you go into the woods wearing a blaze-orange shirt and blue jeans, a deer can pick out the blue better than you can, but can see the orange only as subdued tones. The orange would be barely visible but the blue would glow like the fluorescent orange does to our eyes! Bears are not that extreme, but they do not see reds and oranges very well.
