[Fish]Warm weather means more fish here.

It has been very warm in the interior of Alaska this week. It has lengthened our float season. I flew out to a small lake 75 miles west of Fairbanks on Wednesday and caught this 5lb laketrout on a dry fly (large black ant). http://www.home.gci.net/~ddwest/trilk1.jpg Here is the cub on the lake. http://www.home.gci.net/~ddwest/trilk2.jpg

Went out this morning 75 miles east of Fairbanks and caught 22 rainbow trout like this 20 inch fish. http://www.home.gci.net/~ddwest/big22.jpg It was not the biggest fish I caught today. I did keep 3 to eat because they are hatchery fish anyway.

Torch,

Good to see that I am not the only one enjoying the unseasonably warm temps. However, we do need some more snow than last winter so I can get out more with my new backcountry skis. Looks like the weather is ending though.
