After browsing through the miscellaneous photos on my computer I realized 2011 didn’t really begin until I moved back to Alaska.

I was gracious enough to get out a few times back in the Florida panhandle and manage my first redfish, but otherwise I wasn’t on the water too much. Luckily the timeframe of my family and I getting orders to move back to Alaska was in the peak of Summer. Summer here means five species of salmon, huge rainbows and grayling a plenty. Although moving back to Alaska meant being back home and somewhat know the waters around me, I still struggled to get out as much as I would have liked. When I did manage to get on the water, I made many new fishing buddies and friendships that will last a lifetime. Below is a gallery from this past year and the memories that were made.
