Alaska means fish

My family may not make our living through fishing, as many Alaskan families do, but like many more Alaskans fishing is a part of our life. Whether it is seeking the granddaddy of all Kings in the salmon season, or flicking a fly rod across the sparkling surface of a cool mountain trout stream, we love fishing.

It is not very easy for my dad to cast a rod and reel it back in with one arm, to hook a salmon demands someone fishing for him on a proxy. He still enjoys a chance to go out and fish, though, more now even than before he had his stroke in fact. We bought a boat for the lakes since it is no longer safe to take him out in he canoe. The next step is going to be Boating equipment such as a fish finder to help assure that what little time he is able to be out fishing in a boat he has the best chance possible of catching a fish.
