We hit the big time today.......Kaylee led the way with fishing today as she pulled in five, including the one "prime time" Artic Grayling she caught in photo to the left. Kirkland reeled in three and I hooked one and waited......yes, waited.....I was wanting Travis to film me finally landing one so I let the line out to make it dramatic and you got it!!!! The fish got off. Oh well, so much for my Alaska Fishing Documentary.
We had a fun day at Chena Lakes Recreation Area. It started off with a three hour jon boat adventure that yielded some early rainbow trout and ended up off the Chena River with some nice Grayling. Worms were the choice of menu today and it was a fun day.
We also took a look at the Salmon Watch site at Moose Dam. We actually saw a Chinook Salmon heading up stream for the July spawning period.
Tomorrow begins our last two days in Fairbanks before we head off to Kenai and Anchorage. Two games(Sat/Sun) and departure set for Monday.
As always, not sure what the accomodations will hold in Kenai so it might be a day or four with no internet access.
Please keep our team in thoughts and prayers as we travel and wind down the trip. The guys have become a close knit group and we will be sharing with some more teams next week.

Way to go Kaylee! That is a nice looking fish.
Kaylee, I loved seeing the pictures and video of your big fish! I have visited your Dad's blog everyday and enjoyed reading and seeing all about your adventures. Your family's Alaskan trip will be an experience you will never forget!
Take care, have fun and enjoy every minute!
Farewell to Fairbanks!
I enjoyed the time there w/you guys, as well as the scenery.
The red-eye flight Saturday night / Sunday morning went well, though I didn't sleep any ('didn't expect to).
It's weird being back in Atlanta though -- I'm looking out the window at 11pm and ... it's night. 'haven't seen that since July 1st. :-)
