I did two remotes in AK and they were a blast (Clear AFB in 1984 and Galena Airport in 1988).

Spent a lot of weekends and days off in Anchorage. But that was 25 yrs ago.

I remember I took a charter tour on my second trip. Sunday morning around the whole peninsula of Anchorage. It was 12hrs of sight seeing. Whale watching, spawning salmon, lunch, a million photo ops. It was a great trip. Very touristy and I loved it. Only 12 on the 24 pack bus, normal for a Sunday morning (is what the driver told us).

Fishing was incredible both times. Whatever you think is good elsewhere, when you hit a hot spot in AK, you will cramp up from all the action. Make friends with a reliable local, buy the beer and you will be amazed.

I’m semi-retired now and would love an opportunity to go back for a week in late summer. The winters are a bear, get a hobby that does not involve alcohol and you will do much better! (Mine was hunting, fishing, gunsmithing, a little work with the local PD, weights and training. Lots of gym time. The bar can be a dark hole many never climb out of there.)

All in all, I’m jealous!!
