My son is 11 and has taken hunter's ed. We may go for a black bear this spring. I am considering .30-06 or maybe .243 for him to shoot. Anyone have kids close to this age with a similar experience? What worked for you?
Anyone ice fish Butterfly Lake? Heading that way over the weekend and would appreciate any pointers. I use a vexilar and have been finding char at about 20 feet. My theory is that is where the oxygen is this time of year. Thanks
I am a first time fly rod builder. I think I have figured out the wraps. But my guides are not aligned. The rod is 10ft. Any tricks for getting all 11 guides straight?
First time rod builder. Last year I glued and shaped the cork handle. Over holidays I hope to get the wraps made and finish coat. Plan to use this rod for lakes from canoe or float tube.

Can anyone suggest lakes north of Sutton along GLen Hwy for trout or grayling? My son and I enjoy getting out with my canoe. I am looking for new territory. PM me if you want to discuss the area.
I am taking the train north to Talkeetna to Curry with the family in tow. Plan to do a day float back to Talkeetna on the Su.
Anyone done this? If you have a river report or words of wisdom let me know.
Is it worth bringing a rod for any clear creeks along the way?
Anyone have good things to say about Bonnie Lake MP 83 Glenn HWY? My son and I plan to give it a try tomorrow. We plan to take the canoe. Any patterns to suggest? Any other lakes in the area you think are better. I have to show this kid I can put him on fish. =)
