So we were talking at breakfast ...

Club Members, there is a quiet but growing movement toward a legendary fishing trip to Alaska, by plane or by truck.  To date the discussion has been limited to a pair of the club's most renowned, seasoned fishermen - okay, me and Jim Roode - stout-hearted anglers with many, many rods and reels but absolutely zero experience in the Alaskan backwoods.  

So we're not exactly sure when, where or how we should do this, or whether grizzlies are as gnarly as their reputations.  But before we tell our wives about this great planned addition to our Bucket Lists, it seems prudent to plan this out with a sizeable pack of eager cohorts, at least some of whom we can outrun.

So, who's with us, gang?  If you've ever thought about this kind of venture, or done it and have wisdom or remorse to share, let us hear from you.  

• Ever taken the Alaskan Highway?  

• Rented a vehicle from someone who'll let you take it into the Alaskan back country?  

• Figured out a way to get a bear-size handgun through Canadian Customs?  

• Know where we can hook a 6-pound brookie or 60-pound King?  

• Can I get by with my trusty five-weight?  

I COULD be wrong, but I think
 this fish went for a Green Pumpkin Ned Rig...

• Better yet, want to join us?  

Drop us a note by clicking here or catch me or Jim at breakfast or by phone.  We could still be talking about this over breakfast, long after memories of the Great Glen Elder fiasco have faded away...
