    Shooting the Tannerite in front of the cabin. We used a .300 Win Mag to do the honors.

    And my son Tanner firing the AR-15.

    He really wants to shoot my .375, but even though he's a big 12 year old kid, I'm going to wait til he's about 15... that baby kicks like a mule and I can only shoot it twice before I've had enough.

    That's such great stuff, NT!

    Hell yeah! Lay it on me, Darin. That stuff is a lot of fun to shoot.

    I'm flying to Bethel right now and possibly King Salmon after, so it might be a couple of days before I'm back online.

    Hey - just thinking - if I mailed you some money, could you smoke a salmon and mail it back?

    Thanks for the great pictures and tutorial. I've not been to Talkeetna in many years. My brother and I flew up and around the Moose's Tooth in the most incredible flight I've ever been a part of. He used to be chief pilot for K2 and fly climbers to the base camp. We were always going to go back and fish his grayling spots but it never happened. I've yet to add greying to my list of fish caught.

    Awesome pics!! I'm always so jealous when I see you guys off to the cabin. I'm starting to play the pick 3 and 4 again in addition to the mega millions.

    I can mail you a jar of some smoked Salmon... we don't have any yet, but remind me in a month. And, no, money isn't necessary.


    Now, about that Tannerite recipe...

    I imagine a dumb question, but how good is salmon? What other fish would you compare it to, taste wise?

    I've flown with K2 a few times, back in the day. They make bank with the tourists wanting to fly up to Denali (Mt. McKinley) and of course the hordes of climbers, especially the Japanese - it's a real cultural badge of honor in Japan to have been on that mountain, for some reason.

    Funny thing about the Grayling population... we haven't seen any of them in the last few years in the Talkeetna, and there's always been a decent amount equal to the Rainbows and Dolly Varden. We were just talking about their absence last weekend and no one knows why they've disappeared. The Fairbanks area has been strict on releasing them for a few years now, so their decline isn't just a local thing.

    I can send you some when I mail Darin some, and you can see for yourself!

    I don't think there's really any other fish that tastes like it - salmon is high in oil content, the highly sought after ones (like Copper River Reds) are especially prized because they're higher in content than other runs. Not to say that it's oily, it isn't, but you really have to screw up a salmon to make it dry.

    If you like fish, you'll love salmon. Are you saying you've never had before? Really can't screw it up.

    Surely, no doubt!! I'll try anything once, well...

    Never had any! I'm not a huge fish fan. I grew up loving the 'cheesewich' sandwich from Arthur Treacher's!! Lobster never impressed me, I like crab a little more, and a love shrimp cocktail!! As for fish... maybe fluke or flounder. Most of the time I prefer fish to be deep fried. My wife makes tilapia which isn't so bad.

    Farmed raised Atlantic salmon should be available in any super market in New York. I read, recently, where it is the salmon most chefs like to use because it's quality and price is relatively constant. With that said, you can't beat a salmon caught in Alaska or the Pac NW. I smoke cook salmon in a Weber with alder or plum for smoke and make a mustard and dill sauce for the side. I'm not much for rubs on salmon either. In the next few days I'll book a trip to Wesport for salmon and rock fish. I'm about out of the local canned tuna and need some canned (and fresh) crab, as well.

    I'll do salmon on the grill tonight, take a few, pictures, and show you how I do it.

    I've got a Model 700 .300 Win. Mag. my uncle gave me for college graduation. It's taken a moose but not by me. I loaned it to a friend who shot one in Alberta with it. The moose was excellent eating, too. I think I'm passed moose hunting now. :-)


    My brother flew for K2 in the 90's, BTW. He may have flown you. I know he said he flew a lot of Japanese and especially Japanese news crews on the Iditarod.

    I know of a river in northern B.C. that's loaded with grayling and dollies but a bit of a drive. It would be rough camping with griz and no gun.
