Just a family vacation. Spent a few days in Seattle on the way up (crazy town).
Flew into Juneau, stayed at the Baranoff hotel in downtown near all the shops, restaurants. Think my wife went in every one of the shops. Also, Mendenhall glacier, tram ride up to Mt.Roberts, general sight-seeing.
And the fishing! Just stuck a couple 2 piece spinning rods in a rod tube and the reels, small tackle box in my backpack. Caught all the salmon and Dolly's north and south of the hatchery and the cutthroats in a lake north of town, Auke lake?
We were under gunned for the salmon with 8 & 10 lb gear. I would suggest something heavier. Cutthroats were caught on the 8lb spinning and a little 3wt.fly outfit I brought.
No charters, no guides. Just a 55$ license.
The whole family is ready to relocate. Wish I could make it happen!
