Hello from Southeast Alaska,
We received a wonderful note from Steelheader Don Shope this week. Don fished with us a couple of weeks ago on a sensational trip from Petersburg to Baranof Warm springs. Although Don has never written a song before he claims the trip inspired him. We haven’t put the music to the lyrics yet, but Jessica and Hooper should have it done soon. Thanks again Don for an outstanding trip and the song that closely depicts life on the Adventurous.
WE NAILED ALASKA!
Adventurous is the Mothership
Get onboard for a steelhead trip
Travis is the Captain, Jess is the Chef
The time onboard is luxurious
Tie on the flies and cross their eyes
I want to go fishin’ all day
Big fun happens on the jet powered boats
Skippin’ and crossin’ where they barely float
With Todd at the helm, he’ll get you there
Bouncin’ off logs and holdin’ your chair
Tie on the flies and cross their eyes
I want to go fishin’ all day
We nailed Alaska
From Petersburg to Warm Springs
Against all odds
We landed more than we lost
A bunch of good buds
from Wyoming and Virginia
Rick, Rick, Mick – Tom, Joel and Don
Steelhead on the fly
Rooster’s skills are second to none
He yells and cusses, but he gets things done
Up in the tree or down in the weeds
If steelhead are there, he’ll get a bead
Tie on the flies and throw that spey
I want to go fishin’ all day
Make that cast and don’t fuck up
Don’t be a dick, it’ll ruin your luck
We told tall tales ‘til we were blue
Nobody knows, but some may be true
Tie on the flies and throw that spey
I want to go fishin’ all day
We nailed Alaska
From Petersburg to Warm Springs
Against all odds
We landed more than we lost
A bunch of good buds
from Wyoming and Virginia
Rick, Rick, Mick – Tom, Joel and Don
Steelhead on the fly
Rick, Rick, Mick – Tom, Joel and Don
Steelhead on the fly
