Sunday Afternoon With half of our beloved Seahawks injured and Peyton Manning's immense cerebral cortex highlighted on virtually every sports radio and television program all bloody week I painfully decided to forego watching the Seahawk game and instead spend yet another day outdoors. This time we were in search of chanterelle mushrooms and steamer clams […]

We just came off another great week of fishing here in Craig, Alaska with daily coho limits and wide open action on both halibut and ling cod.
