Hand TrollerHAND TROLLER is a look into a vanishing lifestyle that many dream of but few ever experience. Join Mike and his running partner, Dick Upward, as they troll for King and Coho salmon in the icy waters of Southeast Alaska. Travel from Ketchikan to the small fishing village of Port Alexander on Baranof Island, where you will meet many interesting characters and experience day-to-day life on a small commercial salmon troller. Feel the thrill of hooking and landing King Salmon so big they shake the whole boat and the exhaustion of a fast and furious Coho bite at Cape Ommaney. Come aboard, grab a cup of coffee and let's go fishing! |
