Fishing for Arctic Grayling in Alaska | Summer Boating Delta Clearwater River

We take a quick break from the Quonset Hut Shop build and head to Delta Clearwater River for a summer day of fishing. Although we didn't catch a fish that we could retain, we had a blast on the water landing these beauties.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

It’s good to take some down time from the hard work to relax and do something fun. I I’ve your videos and the adventures. The graylings are big. As many big graylings there are, they could let you have at least a couple for good measure, right! I love your adventures and will keep watching for more. Bye!!

    Dear Eric and Ariel, I love watching your wonderful videos, they're so comforting in a way, I can't describe. Many will feel some jealousy, seeing you guys living and working under such magnificent conditions, and building a good life. Hopefully, maybe some day we get to see kids, that would be lovely to see them playing around, laughing, feeding the chickens, homeschooling, doing the stuff they do. They would be so happy. Take care of yourself and stay safe.

    We had a similar experience on the Clearwater in 1960. The fish only wanted a super-duper lure. I was fishing in a canoe with my dad and brother. We traded poles after 2 fish, as we only had the one lure. Thanks for the memories.
