Fishing With Joe Connors In Alaska

Post by reeltackle »

Another great trip to Alaska to fish with Joe Connors, ORCA member and proprietor of Big Sky Charter & Fish Camp on the Kenai River with fellow ORCANS Terry Ow and Dennis Buranek. The catch included King, Silver and Pink Salmon, Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden.

If you want to fish Alaska I can't imagine a better place than Big Sky Charter and Fish Camp or a better host than Joe who has been guiding on the Kenai since the 1960s.

King Salmon out of Homer -



Not very pretty but they can fish -





Silver Salmon







Had to release these guys - - - -



It wasn't all just about fishing - - - -

Looks like I missed a lot of fun this year.

Are you sure you want me to come next year?

We don't catch fish when I go. :lol:
