Little Susitna Fishing Trip
We went fishing on a river called the Little Susitna River, or 'little su.' We flew over this river on the Beluga Lake trip, and I have a couple of overhead pictures. It looks totally different from above. We were in a part where the water wasn't gray from silt, it was clear. The river is across the Cook Inlet, so it takes about an hour and a half to get there from Anchorage, but the State might construct a bridge across the inlet, so it would take about 15 minutes.
The pic on the left is the Dad and his buddy fishing on the river. It was only about 4 feet deep in its deepest spot, so you'd have to have a flat bottom boat with an outboard jet motor (like the boats on the right picture) to go up and down the river, which would be ideal. This is the only real lauch on the river and it's fucking long, so it was pretty busy there that day. My dad's friend's boat was a v-bottom with an outboard prop, so we couldn't take his boat on the river. We just walked upstream (around the bend on the picture on the right) about 100 yards.
Here's me, trying to get some fish, no luck.
This picture is a representation of what we caught-nothing.
Here's a panoramic view of The Little Su boat lauch.
Here's a picture of
what most Alaskan roads look like-dirt. This takes you to the boat launch above
and it was about 5 miles. It wasn't graded this year, so it was extremely
bumpy.
