Fishin'

Fred McKellar and the one that didn't get away

- That's the McKellar's camper and station wagon in the background, and I also remember that Grumman aluminium canoe! Look closely and you can also see the McKellar's cat, Cocoa. (Koko?)














John Noble's catch of the day

- John Noble loved to camp and fish in Alaska and he would often bring his sons Darren and Christopher along. If John showed up for a weekend trip without those two, I'd be bummed out!















Alaskan street gang

- Left to right: Unknown Kid (anyone know?), my sister Aimee, me (with the fish), Darren Noble, Christopher Noble. Seems like our favorite camping and fishing spots were Chatanika River, Salcha River and the Gulkana River. I'm not sure where this was taken.














I think Lee Payne is in this photo, in the striped shirt? Not sure who the other fellows are.















Salcha River - about 50 miles from Fairbanks















"Breakup" season on the Salcha River
















Not sure if this is the Salcha, Chatanika or Gulkana.
