Got offered a last-minute spot to go King Salmon fishing on the Togiak River in SW Alaska....... wasnt doing anything so I went for the week...
After getting to Dillingham, we were picked up by float plane, a cool Havilland Beaver. I have always loved the radial engine sound. A hour later we were at the river.....

Fishing started slow, the ones I went with have been going there for 12 years, so they know the spots, but we still had to hunt for the holes holding fish. After a couple days of catching only 8 to 10 pounders we finally figured things out ......![004.jpg 004.jpg](https://backcountrypost.com/data/attachments/111/111787-90401709c2f2f5ec5326f04093d7ba14.jpg)
