Baranof Island (SE Alaska)

[k.hanley]

Just got back from a few weeks of saltwater schools at Baranof Wilderness Lodge in SE Alaska.

The silver salmon were abundant and hotter than a lightening strike. Mint condition pink salmon gave plenty of smiles as well. Rockfish ate 'till your arms fell off (including topwater action).

Humpback whales were amazing as always. Lots of close encounters. Long viewing sessions. A bonus group of Orca added to the show.

Fed the eagles some rockfish. Great fun.

Bears were fishing with us on a few rivers. Gotta love the Alaska wildlife.

Snowfields, glaciers, waterfalls booming, the east side of Baranof is magic for me.
Cheers, Ken

I love the Baranof Island experience. Hands down it's an amazing place to be! I've been doing my schools there for 14 years now.
Cheers, Ken
