Just back from two weeks in AK

Thanks to all for introducing the phrase "combat fishing" to my otherwise limited vocabulary. Seriously, I had to look it up, never heard it before. I guess the fishing crowd is more refined in my neck of the woods, or we just have more elbow room in our rivers, creeks, and streams?
Probably more elbow room if your area isn't subject to hordes of tourists. The Kenai is one of the most popular fishing areas for visitors.
My area gets more tourist traffic than most places, but it doesn't usually stick around, except to overnight at the local casino or Walmart, after crossing the border into Canada.
It does, however, create tales of some of the biggest sturgeon catches around, as we're at the southernmost tip of Lake Huron, at the mouth of the St. Clair River. Apparently these two factors drive them to a spot underneath the Blue Water Bridge, sort of a watery corral for the big ones. That's where the monsters are caught on occasion.
At least that's what an old local fisherman acquaintance of mine has told me. :B
