FISHERMiN FLY TO ILLIAMNA
21 persons left Palmer in the wee
hours of the morning last Sunday for
Anchorage where they boarded a DC-3
of Reeve’s Service at 4:30 an and
took off for a day of fishing. Plans
called for Illiamna Lake as the ©es
tination, but at the time of depart
ure, it was not certain that these
plans could be carried out. The
pilots assured the passengers that
they would .take them to good fishing
grounds and everyone was satisfied
with that arrangement. However,
during the flight, conditions at
Illiamna improved and everyone was
delighted to find the plane cutting
across the mountains to the lake.
By 6:30 am the fisherman were all
landed safely at the Illiamna Air
port and before 3:00 am rods and
reels were visible along the Newhalei
river. . Due to the excitement in
getting to thd river, the party fol
lowed the v/rong road and found" them
selves tramping over tundra, muskeg
and through alders where the mosqui
toes welcomed them with delight.
After all of this--the group found a
beautiful river full of rapids which
cut down through deep gorges, but no
fish. Some of the group turned back
and returned to the airport, while
others followed the river until they
reached the mouth where the fishing
was much Jaetter. Those who returned
to the airport learned that a plane
load of soldiers had arrived and
were dragging in the fish at the
nouth of the river. They also learn
ed that a road led right down to this
fishing ground. This news did not
lismay -them.,however, because they all
agreed that they would never have
seen this beautiful part of the river
otherwise.
At 6:00 pm the group assembled at
the plane for the return trip. The
day had proven to be a delightful
one. Although there had beer, a
heavjr mist at six that morning,the
clouds had cleared away and the
greater part of the day had been de
lightful with a clear sky and warm
sunshine. The plane trip was smooth
and passengers enjoyed the scenery
immensely. Although not too mnrj
fish were caught, everyone was a
groed that the trip alone was worth
the price.
The trip was sponsored by the Sports
men's Club, but on Saturday when
several had cancelled their reserva
tions, others were given an oppor
tunity to fill in the vacancies.
Those who took the trip were: Hr.
Severn, Frank Murch, R.A,Sikerberry
Art Pierson, Art Stacy,Ray McOarou^y
and nephew Micky McCartney, Mr. an2*
