You might be married to an exiled south Florida fishing nut when, during football season:
1. On the first Sunday in recent memory you actually get to sleep late, your fishing nut suddenly bolts upright and exclaims with panic “Crap, I’ve gotta go to Hooters.” (The only place in town a Dolphin fan can cheer on his team in peace.)

This is the landscape of the Bristol Bay region. Conscious of it or not, it is the Alaska characterized in the dreams of almost every passionate outdoorsperson. These are fantasies of soaring glacier-laced mountains, massive brown bears, herds of caribou, remote fly-in fishing camps and profound pulses of salmon moving from sea to headwaters each season.
