johnwalker: thanks for the additional information and the words of encouragement! My wife has discovered the steam train trip and made that part of our very short "must do" list.
I am glad to hear so much about the other fishing opportunities. Looks like I need to make room for some tackle, instead of just going with guides.
You're welcome! Guided fishing is great but $$$$$$, esp. with a larger group. We did about 3 days of guided (one each of sockeye, king, and halibut) and then several more days on our own from the banks...
