Fishing Alaska
News & Tips Current month's Alaska fishing news | News | Index of past months
As always, be sure to follow the links and read the complete information from ADF&G. I have been known to fat finger wrong information....like the time 100 years or so ago when I wrote a news release about caribou in the Interior. I mentioned the population sex ratio...except I spelled ratio with an added "n." Speaking of "ration", you can be sure I got one about that, in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, no less. So, check me out here, okay?
Speaking of forums, we are making arrangements for something interesting on OutdoorsDirectory.com. I won't spoil the news by getting specific about it, but I believe out-of-state anglers especially will be interested. I'm not going to give a date either, because sometimes these things take longer than I expect.....but hang on for some new fun. Good fishing.....David
