Our Lady of Perpetual Ephemera

For some strange reason I cannot leave reply comments on my own blog. Its like google doesn't recognize me on my office computer, and since that is the only thing I have that accesses the internet. My email jlallred200@yahoo.com is a far more reliable way of conversing with me.


Here are some shots of osme nice grayling I caught in Lake Clark Alaska.



Pretty Bronze Grayling


big and healthy


This next fish is a hyper melanistic individual. Melinism, axanthism, anerythism, xanthism, leucisticism and the more widely known albinism are all generally simple recessive or codominant genetic traits in animals.



These guys were a blast on a 4wt...

Emalie and I are heading to Breckenridge to join some friends and do a float down the Colorado ina couple weeks. After that its a family trip to Hawaii. I am currently making plans for a solo jaunt to Brazil for some Peacock Bass... few more destinations in the works.

Kontrashibuna Lake Trout

As I have written, I recently returned from a week long fishing trip with friends and business associates on Lake Iliamna in Southwest Alaska.

I and my friend Pat took a float plane trip to Kontrashibuna, a high mountain, lake that feeds into Lake Clark. It was a turbulant flight through a few mountian passes but when we finally set down the lake was dead calm. We fished a couple areas where cold streams flowed into the Lake. I caught a number of lakers and landlocked char on white decievers & gummi flies on my 6wt witha full sinking line.



My favorite fish of the trip!


Jaws!



Misquito going after my fish!

Forgiveness please!

I have been very busy, so I haven't had time to post my Alaska pictures...I will remedy that shortly. For now here are a couple pics from this weekend at Ray Roberts with my friend Pete...


Nice drum


Pete with his first ever Carp! Pete went fishing later that day and caught his first buffalo on the fly as well!

Way to go Pete!

Red, White and Blue Gills

Ok, So these are mostly Red Ears...












I am back from Alaska and will start a series of posts about my trip in the next couple days. Many big fish. Stay tuned!
