As far as what Tfisher says, he makes many good points, and there is nothing I have any major disagreement with. I have lived here for 38 years and I fish a lot. Alaska is just like everywhere else in that it has its ups and downs. In recent weeks I have had some of the best experiences I have ever had in 38 years. I do think there are too many people fishing and most of them are tourists. It is certainly not like it was 38 years ago or even 10 years ago. If you want good fishing Alaska still provides it, if you know where to go and when.
