Playground, Alaska

Tossed the kids into the trucks and went exploring. We hauled 3 four wheelers & a dirt bike. Good weather, dry trails, and a long ride. Followed a light track to a nice camp spot.

Going way out there!




12:15 am
Camp set up! A Caribou checks whats up.

No so early the next morning, got the kids lined up and it was not long before we found fish.



These are Arctic Grayling

 

[BearFoot]

This new day, headed up river to follow a new trail, and stopped at a great fishing hole. Three channels converged into one, with big back eddies rolling on each side. 2nd fishing lesson for the kids.



This young dude was hammering the fishing hole. Told us where the fish were holding up!

 

[BearFoot]

After many fish, we explored a new track. Jumped some moose while gaining elevation. Going into the mountains.

 

[BearFoot]

We followed this trail to its end at a gold mine camp. The claim owner said he put in the trail 12 years prior. We were the first people to ever roll in and visit. He was impressed. We, maybe more, looking at what he had hauled in. This guy spends his summers solo, loving life!

And back to camp.

 

[BearFoot]

A new day and more to explore, but first some grayling!



The goal for the day was run up into the head waters. We did that, as far as rigs can go. Did a little hiking and spotting.

 

[BearFoot]

On the way back, instead of running over land, we ran a canyon.


Won't do that again!

Found more great fishing holes!

 

[BearFoot]

Fun around the camp fire! After midnight!

We let the older kids steer on the way out, but they can not resist mud & bombing off trail

An awesome remote camp trip. Made it home for Wasilla's 4th of July parade. The best I ever experienced. Thousands of mask less people. Only one! A school buss driver!

That's the kind of grayling fishing I dream about.

 

[OntarioHunter]

Thanks for sharing. Grayling are great right into the frying pan but sure don't seem to keep very long. Voracious buggers too. They keep coming back for more.
