Manley Hot Springs fishing trip - Part 2
Manley Hot Springs is a
sleepy little village literally at the end of the road about 165 miles
due west of Fairbanks.
It's one of the few places left in Alaska where it's still possible to
get away from the maddening crowds and relax in peace and quiet.
The
drive out is always amazing and going through the mountains in the
early morning
and watching the sunrise, drifting fog and changing colors was simply
beautiful.
Spent
four days in Manley and went fishing Saturday and Sunday. Fishing was
excellent on Saturday before it started raining.
For some reason, fish often start biting like crazy right before it
rains. Went out trolling and the northerns just kept slamming
my Daredevil King of Diamonds spoon left and right. I've always have
good luck with that particular style, I'm told that it's a
very popular lure for northerns in Canada. Released a bunch of nice
sized northerns, I gave some away to some guys who
were trying their luck shore fishing and kept two myself for dinner.
There's not very much to do in Manley except for fishing, watching
wildlife and
soaking in the hot tubs, but for some people, that's plenty! :)
it's not fall yet, a wildfire swept through this area in May
