Magnetic North - Episode 1
The Fly Out team got the opportunity to float 8 days with guide ambassador Mark Rutherford's Wild River Guides down River X in SW Alaska - Bristol Bay area. The theme of the trip was variety; variety of weather, fish species, and landscapes. Welcome to Alaska right! We got the authentic Bristol Bay snot and we got the elusive blue bird skies. We floated through the dolly varden factories, silver mines, and root ball rainbow country. Along the way, we rediscoverd the magic of Alaska's wilderness - a truly wild country. This was a special adventure, and I take off my hat to Mark and crew for a wonderful trip.
