My son is in Iraq now and will be home in April. I have already invited anyone in his company to come and fish with me upon their return. I have two people lined up now.
If there are any vets or active duty personnel who want to fish in the portland area please contact me.
I also need to ask for some help in a related area. When my son comes back from Iraq he wants to take a trip to alaska and do some trout fishing with me. I have been saving for two years for this trip. In november 06 my boiler went out and I had to use the money I saved for this trip to get the boiler replaced in my home heating system. I only have five months to try and save what i had saved for two years. Is there anyone out there who can give me some advice on some outfitters in alaska who might be interested in helping my son and I make this trip happen. Im not asking for a free trip or anything, just need to find the best experience for my son and I in some kind of price range we can afford. I dont know if this is the right spot to ask this question as Im new to the boards, so please forgive if this isnt the appropriate place. Keep on hooking
