27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Grayling Fishing

Swampbuggy Lake. This is one of the prettiest scenes where the road winds along the Clearwater Mountains.

Clearwater Mountains. This general area was the site of much of my frantic hunting action on the last day of the season, at morning and dusk.

Glad you didn't give away all the good fishing holes on the Denali Highway. Lived up there for 23 years and that road has some of the best Grayling fishing I've ever seen. I know there are a dozen little streams names Fish Creek in AK, but am wondering if the Fish Creek in your pictures in the same as the one on the Denali Highway. Nice Job

The Fish Creek in my pictures isn't the one on the Denali Highway. It's true there's good grayling fishing all up and down that highway, but the same can be said for most of interior Alaska if you do some leg work off the road and explore.
