Fishing Alaska's streams, lakes, and salt water is often anything but a placid experience. Sometimes anglers are hapless players in what resembles a Keystone Kops comedy -- ducking flying hooks, dodging competitive bears, and diving into icy waters to retrieve runaway fishing poles. What people will do to catch a fish! Lew freedman has heard stories you would not believe. But who says fishing stories are truthful? Here's a collection of Lew's favorite wacky tales from the water's edge.

Fishing Alaska's streams, lakes, and salt water is often anything but a placid experience. Sometimes anglers are hapless players in a comedy, ducking fly hooks, dodging competitive bears, and diving in to retrieve runaway fishing poles. You might say it looks like the Keystone Kops at times. As sports editor for the Anchorage Daily News, Lew Freedman has heard stories you wouldn't believe. But who says fishermen are truthful? Here's a collection of Lew's favorites: wacky tales from the water's edge.
