Product Description
ALASKA - Fishing The UNTAMED is a wilderness fishing adventure digital book written by Alaskan author Doug Myers, adventurer, and sport fisherman. A former lodge owner in remote southwest Alaska, the author writes of his fishing/wildlife adventures on wild rivers of the Bristol Bay Region, Kodiak Island, Alaska Peninsula, and less distant Kenai Peninsula. Each chapter is enhanced with color photos taken at the time of the narrative accounts.
It is a book for the sport fisherman, outdoor enthusiast, culturally curious, and all who embrace the suspense in Alaska's wild and reverence for the pristine. Special attention is given to Kenai River sockeye (red) salmon and Arctic grayling.
To read ALASKA - Fishing The UNTAMED is to take a virtual trip to America's 'last frontier', a timeless treasure experienced by a fortunate few. For sport fishermen it provides the vicarious realization of an often elusive dream. Episodes of catching Pacific/Alaska salmon are included in several chapters - king (chinook), red (sockeye), chum (dog), pink (humpy), or silver (coho) salmon. A saga account of the salmon's migratory pattern and metamorphic change leading to instinct's spawning ritual is also included. Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden char, Arctic grayling, northern pike, herring, and halibut are additional fishing features presented separately throughout the book.
The writing includes visits with Native friends at their subsistence fish camp site on a designated 'wild and scenic' river within the Bristol Bay Region of Southwest Alaska. From ancient privilege to the running of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, from wildlife observations to sport fishing highlights, the book emphasizes Alaska's greatest resource - the spirit of adventure. Each chapter is photo illustrated, and a reference link is available for viewing additional photos included in the related hard copy.
