Here at Deneki Outdoors we’re pretty excited about the recent arrival of some super-cool original new T-shirts! One has an awesome bonefish design for the flats-inclined, and the other pays homage to the fabled Alaska Grand Slam (that would be all 5 Pacific Salmon, all in a day, all on a fly – like we do it at Alaska West). But we digress.
Here’s the problem – we’re toiling away on our web store, but it’s not up and running yet, and these shirts are burning a hole in our warehouse! We can think of only one solution – give one away.

I really enjoy the shirt that you sent but this thanks is for posting the newsletter each week. I read it every time. Thanks and keep it up. Big Bow Bill
Thanks a lot Bill – we really appreciate you keeping in touch!
Even though the shirt has been won – I was sitting and dreaming of The Kanektok here at my desk. There is something about drifting a size #4 or #6 hunk of fur that is supposed to look like a chunk of meat under a strike indicator (Secret Yarn preferred), and getting that good drift . As the shorline passes your anticipation increases as your offering floats under a blow down when suddenly the indicator disappears. You know that 99 out of 100 chances it isn’t going to be a 12″ dink, but there is a good chance that “ELI” has just made an attempt at making a fast meal. When you get that mass of color and spots to the net there isn’t another feeling like it. It is emotional as well as visual – to say the least stimulating!!! Wish I was there!! Hope the gang is having a wonderful summer – hope to see some of you in the spring in Andros!!

Alaska…. this is the only place I actually dream about being, this is the place I dream about living, although my dream has not yet come true, I revisit this beautiful place as often as I can.
My first trip to Alaska came as I was 14 years old, I will never forget the feeling I had inside of me telling me not to leave. There is a commercial on tv here in Atlanta that says something to the effect of ” You hear the voice calling,… come and see…. Alaska” It could not be more true. I hear it calling all the time. The most beautiful state in the United States by far. I can not wait until August 15th. I will be there to refuel my soul again..
