Camp Guestbook

Me thinks October would be ideal! Dick McClure September 16 – 2002 Spent my 65 birthday on the River, have a dinner that was real good. The seven days on the river were wonderful. The best vacation I have had. Thank you for all that you did.

One should always remember where he or she was on Sept 11, 2001. I remember well. I was with Italio River Adventures on this day to remember, so I am back for my 2nd trip this year. I spent the week with my friends Dick, Larry, Don & Skip. Again you showed the finest of hospitality as well as your friendship, it was a real pleasure converting my friends from spin casting to Fly fishing (Thank for your help Pat). One could not have asked for better fishing. The Silver run was excellent. We landed 2 Silvers in the 19 to 20 pound range on fly rods. What a thrill. I plan to return next year if all stays well. Thanks again for another great trip!!! Your Friend Don September
26, 2002 Thank you for all those mental snapshots that can never be properly transferred to Kodak paper … the pod of belugas at Hubbard Glacier; the plethora of bear tracks (no bears); the multitude of wolf traces (wolves in packs); the red fox in the moonlight; all around the alder bushes. Jenna chasing the weasel; the rain, the fog, the sunshine, seeing from Fairweather to Mt. Elias; eagle after eagle perched on most bleached logs; the seals a the mouth of the Akwe ( I counted 15 heads); the sunset & barbeque on the beach – and the moonrise. I forgot to mention fish … but there are a gazillion.. and being pampered, indulged, and understood. Pat, you know the fish, you know the rivers, but you also know your clients, and that is the gift that makes you such a wonderful guide. I can’t wait to come back, and share your special place once again. Thank
you
Mary Bensini Silverzani (aka.
Mary S. (for ****) Salmon******) And as it goes, the life cycle of the client and the salmon … ours has run its course and salmon are yet in the thick of theirs … thank you for ours and for the warmth, hospitality and acceptance into your Italio for a while .. it has been an honor … each day brought new experiences that enriched my life … not to mention the ton of salmon that were caught (literally) … hope to be back and share this again… all the best John Sept

joys in life spraying water, playing in the sand, etc!
The food, lodging, hospitality was fabulous – Many thanks J

you so much for all your patience in teaching me now to fly fish (and
not laughing too hard each time the fly bounced off my head).
Just seeing all the fish was amazing.
You guys really made the experience wonderful the scenery and
