How about some of you guys who've been here a long time telling us some stories about the good old days in AK before the salmon were on the decline and the moose were shot out and the place was full of L48ers.

I've been here a decade and won't be here much longer, but even I'm starting to yearn for my own "good old days". The first year I moved up I caught piles of kings and silvers on the Parks highway streams, and I didn't even know how to fish for them. I once caught 23 kings in one hot July day on the Klutina, the largest a 71lb buck. The last time I went up I fished until my arms nearly fell off and landed one 35 pounder all weekend, I was the only one in the group to catch one.

Some come on I know some of you guys have been 20, 30, or 50 years. Tell us what it used to be like.
