Just some pictures from my trip to ALASKA , in Sept. of 2010 . The creek was full of Pink Salmon. If you go there make sure you see CREEK STREET. It's something else.

Happy New Year

Hi Ray

All those trophy,s are in my Hunting Cabin . My wife prefers it that way , so I got to build the Cabin I always wanted. You are welcome to see it if you are down my way. Yes there were many misses over the years. I did write a story about them , maybe I can fit it on here some day.

Lets hope we keep on trucking for a long time yet.

Some of these pictures go back to 1974 to 2012

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS With so many fish in the river I thought they would be stacked up in front of it. Trolled for two hours did not mark a fish or catch any . Did not see any other boats get any either, so we hauled the boat out for this season and headed for the river. Now mind you I never fished the river before . This was a first for me. Well I think I am now hooked on it. I hooked into 6 fish and , what a battle, Salmon were flying everywhere. I managed to land a nice King about 12 lbs. and dropped another at my foot that was over 20 lbs. I fished for about five hours that day . I was all in by then. It was a great day of fishing . You know I will be at it again.

P3434, I checked out the river on wed. early evening and saw lots of fish getting caught at the bridge in town. They were breaking water all over the place. I wondered how they all got by us in the Lake . I think all those big marks I saw on my fish finder right on the bottom in the last 2 weeks , which I thought were bait ,were really Salmon with lock jaw. They just would not bite. I will try something different next time around.

Hey Len, My son and I were in Oswego two weeks ago and also had one of those great days you hope to repeat every trip. I was wondering what you thought of Costello's Cabins?

jeff (from Somerset,N.J.)

Hi Jeff

Never stayed at Costello's Cabins. So I don't know . It was raining like hell tues. when we came in and no place to clean fish, so we went there to have them cleaned . they did a nice job of it , but $3. a fish. I usually clean my own.
