I almost forgot what those look like! They are as rare as hens teeth around here. Been getting ducks, grouse, and cranberries but haven't seen any big animals yet. Congrats........

Well good luck on your hunt. Come on downriver, plenty of moose here. We used to have to run upriver a couple hundred miles, so I know the feeling.

Working upright is ALWAYS better!

Otherwise, when you get as old as I am, your back xrays look like mine!

Thanks.
Those grayling didn't make it down the road before they were gone. Luckly I stashed two for dinner.

Was picking cranberries (apparently with a with a ghost) on the hill behind the house. They are nice and juicy and sweet now after a hard frost.

Can you get Dollies in any of the side creeks, Jeff? I'd rather eat a dolly than a grayling!

We have them but very few. cant really target them. I get one in my net on occasion in the main river, and we pick one up grayling fishing once in awhile.

I have my short net set in front of the house catching fat whitefish. They are running out of the lakes and sloughs as the water drops and freezes into the main river for the winter.

They remind me of the double ended sucker parasites that I used to pick off of the red king crab and drop down the hip boots of those standing on deck.

Nevertheless, yukonjeff isn’t going hungry much.

They are ugly. I remember as a kid there was a pond I used to fish that the eels would come spawn in. There would be thousands of them and the whole bottom would like it was moving. They were much darker than the ones Jeff is picturing though.

How do you know when they are running? Just put in a test hole and check every now and then?
