Fishing

Crossing the Tanana River (pronounced Tan-uh-naw)
Clearwater Creek Recreation Site.
Terry launching his kick boat for a 9 mile trip down Clearwater Creek. It's 3:30 pm and the float will take 4-6 hours. Should be out about 9 pm.
See you at the boat landing in Clearwater Creek.

After floating the creek, he gets into the Tanana River for 1.5 miles and then has to paddle up the outlet stream into Clearwater Lake another 1.5 miles and then 1 mile across the lake. About 12.5 miles. He arrived at the ramp at 9:45 pm. I had to honk my horn several times so he could get a reading on where I was parked. Fortunately we could communicate by cell phone. If he had missed the outlet stream from the big Tanana River, he would have had to go another 20 miles to where the river goes under the Alaska Highway to get out. It would have been about 2 pm by then!! Glad he didn't miss the stream. He caught 8 grayling! All released.
