  • In the Wild State 1973 in Bear Creek, Stands in the Main Hall

And if you want a souvenir for the loved one, A “Grand Slam” week of fishing on the banks of Alaska’s the airport shop sells sealskin slippers and a Goodnews River is a fisherman’s dream, saysJonathan Young selection of Arctic-fox furs. Even the nearby parking tells a story; instead of cars there are hundreds of private floatplanes bobbing on their moorings. Most of our fellow travellers were carrying rods as hand luggage and, like them, we’d trav- elled thousands of miles to experience the plenitude of Pacific salmon. For many years, as a young journalist, i’d edited the copy of the great Arthur Oglesby, that titan of fly-fishing in the ’70s and ’80s. When he wasn’t pursuing 50-pound Atlantic salmon on Norway’s Vosso, Oglesby would take parties to Alaska’s Bristol Bay and i’ve never forgotten his tales of mas- sive salmon in mackerel numbers, a gilded promise of the sort of sport once enjoyed by our 19th-century forebears, bending cane rods in the highlands. But perhaps others had. With the opening up of Russia’s Kola Peninsula and the spectacular catches on the Ponoi, such as the 19 rods landing more than 1,800 fish in a week at Ryabaga Camp in 2002, fishermen looked east, not west.
