Alaska Charter Fishing

The following is a letter that my brother sent to a fishing lodge in Alaska after his recent trip.

I thought you folks at Cedars Lodge would like this “after” picture of the Trophy King Salmon I caught last September. We had it preserved for eternity by an expert taxidermist. It is up on our wall in the family room in our home, which has a fishing theme. It’s a beauty isn’t it? The work this guy does is just fantastic; he never ceases to amaze me. The other fish we caught has all been eaten. There is just nothing like cooking your very own catch. Every time salmon, halibut or red snapper is on our dinner plates we reminisce the thrill of landing them.

This brings me to why I am writing and sending this picture to you. I know you have a wall of photos in the lodge and though you could add mine. This year our reservations are made for early July. I’ll be part of a threesome; myself and two business associates are taking a week to unwind and reel in some of those great fish you are hoarding up there in Alaska. We decided on July because it is peek fishing time for King, Pink and Silver Salmon. One of my associates wants to focus on halibut and red snapper.

I must tell you the fishing isn’t the only thing that keeps me coming back year after year. Cedar Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. There is great food, the staff is super, the guides know what they’re talking about and I love the great outdoors. It is more than a fishing trip, it is a vacation. I have never had so much fun or slept better than when I am on my yearly trip to Ketchikan.

We have planned two-day trips with our personal guide again. They always seem to have the inside information as to where they’re biting. The family is keen on any and all fish I bring back, we always enjoy every last bit of it! You sure know how to grow them in Alaska! Just on a side note, while we are in Ketchikan we are going to take an afternoon and attend the Great Alaska Lumberjack show. I heard it was a hoot. I’m going to give the log rolling a try, though, I’m pretty sure I’ll get “wet behind the ears.”

See you soon
