An Arctic Char. These are sea-run Dolly Varden that return, and probably the most beautiful fish I've ever seen, especially in the wintertime.
A glacier that empties into Lake Clark.
A clear stream emptying into a glacier fed stream.
Behind the lodge about a half mile, beaver activity.
This was very entertaining. I was fixing the groomer (you drag it behind a 4-wheeler to smooth out the runway) when my girlfriend came down from the Lodge and told me to come "help feed the babies". We walked down to the river and she threw in a chunk of salmon eggs, and thousands of baby King Salmon fry swarmed on it. I spent 3 hours or more doing this and went through 10 pounds of salmon eggs.
A pretty good size wolf track.
A freshwater seal in Lake Illiamna.
A nice 52# King Salmon.
Very nice pics NT! Always look forward to your photos. Loved the wildlife pictures and a few with the chocolate lab.
Thanks, Dan. The Lab's name is Truffles, she's one of the smartest dogs I've ever met. Her only downfall is she likes to go walkabout here around the neighborhood and not too long ago I had to go bail her ass out of jail. A Wasilla cop stopped, lured her into the back of his cop car, and took her to the pound... $120 to get her out.
But she's a great dog.
Since I've got nothing but time on my hands, figured I'd test out my upload capabilities via satellite internet...
Here's a pic I took as we were driving through Wasilla last week on the way to drop me off at the Anchorage airport, there was a powerful windstorm that blew over several rigs. This is a Lynden truck.

Not looking promising for a flight home. While the Alaska Airlines pilots are very good, the weather isn't cooperating.
