We have gotten a lot of good advice from friends who have "been there, one that". The only really unknown piece is the Nome area char and grayling and maybe pike. All my friends bird there, so we'll have that staked out as best as one can. In the Soldatna area our host is dialed into the sockeye, if they show, so we plan on having a ball filling a box or two. They are also planning some floats, dinners at boat accessible restaurants, whale watching, and so on. Plus, since there will be family there I haven't seen in decades and know (ain't email and FB wonderful) that they are as warped as I am there will be great times and conversations. I should add that it all depends on Alaska Pilots staying on the job.
