“There he is.” Stepping over deadfall and keeping a distance, we followed and periodically bugled to a herd of elk. I was leaning with my rifle against a tree when the rag-horn bull separated from the herd in response to Scott’s bugle. After I shot the elk, Scott looked over and said, “Thank goodness for Idaho’s roadless areas!” …
For many Americans, Southeast Alaska’s Inside Passage and Tongass National Forest is a dream destination. Nearly 3 million visitors come every year to see the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest and its towering old-growth trees, dramatic mountains rising from the sea and tidewater glaciers. Right now, there’s an incredible opportunity to help maintain the prolific fish and wildlife habitat in the forest for years…
What an industrial access road means for a remote region with some of the best hunting and fishing in southcentral Alaska.
“When we think about people, and the ‘habitat’ people utilize, we don’t just look at the superhighways where they can easily be seen traveling,” he said. “People don’t live on the freeways, people don’t ‘spawn’ on the freeways or on their commute.”

Photo: Pat Ford By: Nelli Williams Dear Alaska angler: Some of you might be wondering, how did the results of Tuesday’s election change our ability to protect Bristol Bay and the places around Alaska that we love to hunt and fish.

By David Lisi No one around you, you’re in a pristine river setting, fishing for wild, native fish. This is THE magical, nearly unattainable goal for most fly fishermen.

After a long float plane flight back to Juneau, a hurried meal and a handful of Ibuprofen, I turned in for the night with one last thought – Tomorrow. Tomorrow we’ll find the fish and all of this will be worth it.
Climate scientists have been correct so far and it is likely that we will see this un-seasonable weather pattern more frequently. The question Alaskan anglers should be wondering is, how resilient are our world class fisheries?
For several months when the sun is at its peak and salmon are making their upstream journey, Alaskans are fishing, harvesting, and exploring to the fullest extent possible. Summer is brief, and we hone our skills to seize every free moment. Now though, with changing colors and cooler temperatures of fall, life has slowed down.…
I always look forward to this time of year, when the ice is newly broken off our nearby lakes, the black flies and mosquitos aren’t too ferocious, and the resident fish are extremely hungry.
