Sunny day - Picture perfect day, few fish but still a great time. Sunny day, few bugs, good equipment but few fish . Others cancelled so it was just the two of us with Jake.

A pretty great way to spend a day in Fairbanks - Jake was a great guide to have. Tried an active spot the day before but following little luck, we then moved down the road to try a new spot. He quickly identified a few key spots for us to try, and found a nice pocket of arctic greylings. I managed to land 5, and he probably got similar, if not more. A pretty great way to spend a day in Fairbanks.
