15:10 - Nick caught a grayling for the first time there. We chatted about the best memories we had during the trip.

19:20 - Tip: Bring layers of clothes. Preferably wool to keep you warm. Be prepared for the weather.

27:55 - Advice from Adam: If anyone out there is thinking of doing this trip, DO IT NOW. They may not be here in a few years and who knows what happens in the future.

28:45 - We mentioned Susitna River Coalition with Margaret Stern in episode 376 where we talked about their fights to protect Alaska.

30:45 - We were fishing Velocity rods at 7 and 8 wt, as well as the Cobalt rods at 8 and 9 wt for cohos. For reels, we used Gurus and Litespeed F. They'll be launching Center Fire reels in a couple of weeks. Visit Waterworks-Lamson.com to check out what they have going.
