Fishing


We have been trying to figure out Fairbanks fishing! So far Grandpa has caught one small rainbow trout at Ballaine Lake and nothing at Chatanika River.

Now, to make this slightly interesting, I will now tell how to catch at fish in Fairbanks...don't go to Ballaine Lake! Joking...we saw someone else catching fish and I did get to fall into the lake there. In my defense, I wasn't the only one in the lake. There are also appears to be a few number of dogs that go swimming there. In fact, one dog was swimming after a beaver for quite a long time yesterday. If you are wondering, beaver are smarter than dogs....

Advice from Grandpa
If you are new to Fairbanks fishing areas, ask for a proof from people that give you information (pictures required). After covering over fifty miles and sampling lakes and rivers, what you see in the picture is the lone result of a rainbow that bit in Fairbanks.

Is that a hooligan? A herring? TINY FISH! Come back home to where the real fish swim.

Did you cook this fish up for your snack?

A snack? I think you could use it to floss your teeth after a snack! :)
