Ryan Miller and I waded up an interesting bear infested trib yesterday and sling shot casted to 20 plus inch bows. This surreal pic is the result of one well timed snap. More on this event found here.
Interesting side note on this photo - there is a underwater sillhouette of a fish in the lower right corner. The species was questionable to many in camp. Two guides in particular (Matt Hynes and Ryan Miller) were in disagreement. Matt called dolly and Ryan deciphered bow. The dispute was settled by a camp-wide vote and loser was to eat a fresh Coho sperm sac. In the end Dolly was the call and Matt, in true AK guide fashion, slid a nicely quartered sac down his gullet. Video of the entire event soon to follow.
Good times at AK West for sure.
VIDEO UPDATE: Sac Slammers
Stay tuned later this week for fully edited video that illustrates the events that led to this infamous sac slamming.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 9:53AM LAST CALL! We have one spot left for this trip.
If we could go to just one Alaska fishery before we died, it would be Alaska West's Kanektok. From August 7th - 14th, we're doing it and we're doing it right. Six members of the Chum Nation will join us. And you're invited to be one of them!
Alaska West's Kanektok location is a remote fishing camp by definition. We will sleep and eat in tents. We will responsibly misbehave. And, we will catch silvers, rainbows and dollies till we hurt.
AK West is owned and operated by our industry buddy Andrew Bennett. It is also where good friend and Hustle and Fish producer Steve Apple spent years filming and dreaming up the freak-show that is H&F. Here's our opportunity to join the tomfoolery.
Are you in? We'll put you on the list and/or answer any questions you have here

Camp is the epicenter of one of the worlds most fruitful drainages.

Two Chum faithful per guide/boat.


We will catch slab bows on mice. Lot's of 'em.

We will catch silvers on wogs: VIDEO

If we feel the need, we will harvest healthy fish from a very healthy fishery.

Will will fish LONG days and sleep hard in 5 star tents. In-tent farting will be discouraged.
This is a first come first serve gig. We're capping the week at 6 rods. Shoot us a note and we'll answer any and all questions. 15% deposit locks you in.
Moldy Chum 2009 field trip rate:
$4800. This price includes 7 nights and 6 days of guided fishing on the Kanektok, meals, lodging, flies, terminal tackle and loaner gear (if needed). In addition, guests tip an average of $500. Plane tickets are not included.

2008 2nd place Slab of the Year winner - Ken Beatty. While teaching his bro to fish for dollies on a local Vancouver flow, Ken's expectations were low. They were having success with Dollies when mother nature decided to bless Ken. 4 slabs of steel later Beatty and Bro were beside themselves.

Kispiox dollies enjoy a nice cut of meat here and there. This one hammered a 6" big nasty before properly finishing his previous meal.
