Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 12:00AM Alaska West's Kanektok is known for its King run. But we found out on our last Moldy Chum field trip that there is one hell of a rainbow connection.

According to Kermit, rainbows are visions - they're only illusions. He's obviously never fished the Kanektok.

Just got word that Sickles is taking his steel mojo to River Borne Outfitters. Now you too can learn from the 2008 Slab of the Year winner.

Pirate and Sierra appreciated the Coastal route in lieu of I-5 - dogs + beach = goodness.
Once Mrs. Bun and I hit the hills, gnarly climbs were replaced by moderate hikes with plenty leg lifting and sniffing.
Rear Admiral Beard spent time chillin with me on one of my favorite little lakes. This particular day delivered a damsel hatch of epic proportion - anything and everything I offered (including damsels) was ridiculed.
I did, however, sneak away for a day to get serious with Mr. Heron. When he's not busy helping make sure the Fly Fishing Film Tour runs like a well oiled machine, he's completely dialed into the water in and around Tahoe.
The Bun fam decided to have fun with the navigation system on the way home and explore a bit - finding this sign on the Bear Camp Coastal road in southern Oregon. Upon arrival at Gold Beach, OR, we came to find out it's the very same route that tragically delivered this nightmare a few years ago.
All in all in was a good trip with four thumbs and eight paws up. Good to be home to record setting Seattle heat.

We're long time fans of Ryan Peterson's The Big Pull here at the Chum. And, his daily chirp on the Ponoi River does nothing to diminish his stock with us for sure - must read ramblings here.

If we could go to just one Alaska fishery before we died, it would be Alaska West's Kanektok. From August 7th - 14th, we're doing it and we're doing it right. Six members of the Chum Nation will join us. And you're invited to be one of them!
Alaska West's Kanektok location is a remote fishing camp by definition. We will sleep and eat in tents. We will responsibly misbehave. And, we will catch silvers, rainbows and dollies till we hurt.
AK West is owned and operated by our industry buddy Andrew Bennett. It is also where good friend and Hustle and Fish producer Steve Apple spent years filming and dreaming up the freak-show that is H&F. Here's our opportunity to join the tomfoolery.

We will catch slab bows on mice. Lot's of 'em.
