Hailing from Hugo, Minnesota, first time Alaska visitors Joe & Melissa, still looking like honeymooners after 2 years since marrying, celebrated their first salmon success on our shore….and we celebrated with them like it was our first too! Melissa struck salmon first, with this nice Red, but in her short walk to the camper and back to settle her excitement, Joe caught this nice Kenai River Rainbow! It didn’t take long till the salmon started piling up, with Melissa catching her limit on day 2 while Joe was out on a King Salmon charter. I think they’re hooked…on each other AND Alaska! No catch & release here!
Celebrating 1st Alaska Salmon!
About the Author: The Alaska Dream
Our family of six has been living the Alaska Dream on the world famous Kenai River for the past 15+ years, enjoying the bounty of the land & sea in everything we do! All of our children were born in Alaska, and both of us have lived here for 30+ years. We love sharing the Alaska Dream with visitors from around the corner and around the world and we especially love to help families and children catch their 1st salmon, halibut or rainbow trout and learn how to care for it all the way through the process of cooking it in delicious gourmet Alaska fashion. Enjoy reading our Alaska Fishing Report, Cooking Alaska Fish & Game, Alaska Photo of the Week and other sections of our website The Alaska Dream and we hope to have the chance to help you experience YOUR Alaska Dream someday too!
