Each year, Mark and Linda Warner make a pilgrimage to the Juneau area and bring with them friends from the lands down south. Every few years, one or two Walls decides to go along. This year four of us went to fill out the group to 21 for a week of camping and fishing in the wilds of Glacier Bay and a few days of mountain biking and hiking in the Juneau environs. Glacier Bay is the northernmost inlet in the archipelego near Juneau.

This is the proper technique for landing those really big halibut

Is that a rope or thick moss?
