About a year and a half ago, we found a fishing bundle for sale that included two permits, four sites, and two boats in a place called Naknek, Alaska. We contacted the sellers, looked it up on google maps, and did our research before we jumped in just a few days later… because, why not? After all, you have to risk it for the biscuit…err, the salmon.

A lot of learning was put into the past year. Not only about fishing, but about the business side of it, too. Just when we thought we had a good grip on all of it…. COVID-19 happened. There was talk about the fishing season not being able to happen at all, but in the end and a lot of back and forth, the salmon fishing season was open for fishing!
