Unalakleet, AK fishing

We visited my hometown for 5 days and had such a good time. All we wanted to do was visit and fish. James loved fishing so much, he'd wake up before me and go without me! We can just walk down to the point (it's the south end of town and where the river runs into the ocean) and rod-n-reel for fish. Gabions were placed here for erosion control, so that's what we stood on. Pink salmon were jumping all around, but James ended up with tom cods he threw back in. In the village, we usually ice fish for tom cods as well as trout and smelts. My brother, Merle, took us on my mom's river boat to fish just across the river.
We also went up the river to fish with all my brothers except Marty, the dogs, and my mom. I finally caught a fish, a pink salmon. James caught some grayling he threw back, one trout, and some pink salmon. This day was cool, in the 50's, and when the wind wasn't blowing, the mosquitos were everywhere!
James would always clean the fish and learned how to filet them and also how to make dry fish. I thought it was pretty cool when he checked on the dry fish hanging on the fish rack. He's loaded pics from our fishing days and came up with all the cool captions. My personal favorite is "You wish dry fish". My three favorite Inupiaq gals - My mother-in-law Marlene, Grandma Ellen, and Meryl
Bet you $10 my mother-in law cuts fish better than yours does
Humpy's and a trout from upriver ready to be cut
The river and the hills - does it get any more beautiful than this?
Hats and jackets do double time - protect you from the cold AND the mosquitos!
The beaver dam..cool!
