One of the boxed fish was put in a carryall to make it easier to carry when we got back.

I do not understand how folks have such trouble getting into silvers on Kodiak. Rain of course is an excellent excuse as those little rivers get out of shape fast!

Most folks insist on getting too close to the fish and putting them down and they use flies that are much too large once they have put them down.
