The Leopard Rainbow is not only a beautiful trout, it is a hard fighter and loves to jump. Between tangling your line in a tree, wrapping around a rock or a wild jump - they can be a challenge to land. The bigger trout are as good or better a challenge to land as a large salmon. Their heart stopping runs and sheer strength make for a formidable fight.

There are so many fishing options, it's really is hard to decide what do next. There were many times I felt like a kid in a candy store - with the door locked and me inside. What should I do now? Sockeye, Chums, Pinks, Kings, Dollies or Trout? They all sound good ...

"Pace yourself" - I kept telling myself. It's a lot harder the first few days - as everything is so different and you're anxious to sample every species and every method of fishing. After the first day or maybe two, you will settle into the groove of the camp, long Alaskan days and the plethora of fishing opportunities.
