Stuff We Like Inspired by our Travel
Fishing should be fun. Part of that is art and food and other things that don't put fish in the boat, but nevertheless make you enjoy the process more.
Resources for Fat Bear Week (for those who celebrate)
We’re coming up on Fat Bear Week, when you can vote for the bears at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, trying to select the epitome of pre-hibernation gluttony. The contest has become a worldwide phenomenon in recent years, with iconic winners like Otis and last year’s motherly champ 128 Grazer.
Bear Beer with Bite
We are headed to Alaska shortly, where we hope to catch multiple species of salmon, trout and char. It’ll be my third trip and Hanna’s first, and while fishing at Bear Trail Lodge is the primary purpose of our adventure, I’m thrilled to see her reaction when we go to the famous Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park. Fishing around dozens of bears, and going from freaked-the-hell-out to remarkably ho-hum in a matter of hours is an experience that every angler and lover of the outdoors should enjoy.
