Story - Novices Go Fishing for Reds (Salmon)


Summary

This is the story of my husband’s and my experience when our neighbor took us fishing for Reds for the first time.  We thought the story was funny enough that true fishermen would find it funny and others would find it interesting.

Summary

Dan Eidem runs Alaska Wilderness 4-Wheeler Tours, a tour on ATVs, for small to medium groups.  An earlier post described our trip with him in May down the beach from Bishop’s Beach in Homer (AW4WT - On the Beach).  This time we took his more usual route, into the Kenai Peninsula backcountry.  This area includes meadows filled with Fireweed, spruce forests, sweeping vistas and views of glaciers and volcanoes.

Opinion

This trip was a blast!  We went several miles
