Grayling fishing on the Alagnak Wild River is simply “off the hook”….world class, even by Alaskan standards!

Im asking the public what their take on this issue is and what you would do if you were in my position.....it's only money 💰,
about $$$$1700.00 Worth from
SILVERBOW FLY SHOP.....Just Sayin....just hard earned money.

There's something "FISHY"
going on, because Hank Jones will not contact me, as Jack says he's "TOO BUSY".......I call that HORSESH*T !!!!
It's the same with JACK MITCHELL......If I was in Jack's position, I would damn sure CALL my Repeat Customer periodically to ask him if his fishing equipment showed up ????.........Jack's protecting his guide buddy.

I can't prove anything but it all Points in their direction !!!!
The last thing I'm going to say is that there are (2) Two Sides to everyone who walks this planet, their Story version, and the Correct Story....there ya go folks, Karma is a MO********ER !!!!

I'll say this much JACK MITCHELL, and HANK JONES, and that's that I will NEVER go on any of your fishing trip's Ever Again, and I fish with many, many Guide's throughout the world 🌎, AND, I know hundreds of fellow Angler's throughout, and both of your name's will come up with conversation 😉

Hank told us both that he would take our 2 Fly Rods and Reel's, and my SIMMS Wading Staff back to the lodge, and I heard him say that he might go right back home to CUSIK where he lives to address his boat engine problem.
I walked up the ramp to get my truck and drove down closer to Hank's boat because she had difficulty walking. We then drove back to the lodge to shower and eat dinner. The following morning, we ate breakfast 😋 and packed our belongings and got into my truck and left.....
I/We must have spaced out my 10' - 10" ECHO FLY ROD with GALVIN REEL, Val's 9' ROSS ROD/REEL Combination, and my SIMMS WADING STAFF/CASE....
If Hank put our fishing equipment on the lodge deck, neither one of us saw it, and we proceeded to load suitcase's into my truck and left for home.....
In OCTOBER 2025, Val and I planned a fishing trip to Wyoming/Montana, and as I was packing my fishing equipment, I could NOT FIND my ECHO FLY rod and Reel, Val's Ross fly rod and reel, or my SIMMS wading staff, which ALWAYS Go with us on Every fishing trip!! We both searched all the places that it could have been, but was Nowhere to be found !!!! We were in a hurry so we decided to take other rods/reels and continue on.
Upon returning, I carefully searched through everything again, but came up Empty-handed????
I called and texted HANK JONES multiple times, regarding my equipment but he would NOT RESPOND!!!!.....That's telling me that he's hiding something, feels guilty, and doesn't want correspondence!!!!

I contacted JACK MITCHELL, telling him what happened, and he told me that HANK wouldn't have taken my equipment, as he's got plenty of his own rods etc.
JACK MITCHELL also contacted his other clients from that weekend and told me that they hadn't seen any other fishing equipment around 🤔 😳 🙄 😐 I call this HORSESH*T !!!!
My beef with Jack is that he's PROTECTING Hank Jones!!!!
