Dale Nixon and his group, August Dale Nixon and his group came to fish and, for the first ten days of August, fish they did! These guys have been friends and done things together since 4th grade. And, while we don't specialize in fishing trips on board Skookumchuck, it was hard to say no to this group. Not only did they do all the cooking and cleaned their own fish, they even cleaned up the boat afterwards. A more congenial bunch of guys would be hard to find. Everyone had a grand time!

Speaking of cleaning! |

How's this for wild country? |
| Telling stories on deck. That's Jay listening intently to one of the "Captain's" tales. |

Others were somewhat less intent! |
| Others were clearing out all together! |

And, unless it was edible, one young fellow could careless about the whole thing! |
| Brian (the psychologist) stayed neutral. |
 |
 |
And then there was Tom, smiling at it all. |
| Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip. For most, it was their first time to Alaska but, it isn't likely to be their last because they rebooked to come back in 2003. We'll make sure to get photos of Dale up here next time! |
