Eric Booton with a nice early season rainbow trout from the Kenai River watershed. By Austin Williams I had barely stripped the line off my reel to make my first cast when I could feel my phone vibrating from the front pocket of my waders. Rats. Normally, I’d have let the call go, or not
The little fishing village of Punta Allen sits on sandy spit on the edge of Ascension Bay along Mexico’s Yucatan Penninsula. It was a government grant to the locals to be used for lobster fishing.
