A Real Nice One

Very nice.  Photo: Alaska West Guests
Very nice. Photo: Alaska West Guests

We’ve posted this picture on our blog before – on Thanksgiving of 2008.

Since our blog’s readers on Thanksgiving of 2008 consisted of yours truly and my mom, we figured it was time to show it to all you folks!

This exceptional resident rainbow came from the lower river at Alaska West a few years back.  This is an unusual fish for our river, but man it’s nice to know they’re in there.

    Tom Rueping is a class act, a humble guy and a great fisherman. Warms my heart to see him with a fish like that. Way to go Tom.
