In 2019 after a call to my editor, Bill Sisson over at Anglers Journal we riffed about story angles for a first time fishing experience in the 49th state. It was Bill who suggested the idea of , Alaska, the First Time, and with that theme in mind I was able to place my story after a 10 day adventure. Here's a link to the feature: https://www.anglersjournal.com/adventure/alaska-the-first-time
