Chris Poynter, Clover Pass Resort’s operations manager, holds up his first king of the season. Chris brought two years worth of interior-Alaska lodge management experience to Clover Pass but had never caught a king in the saltwater until today! Now that he’s got his hands bloody it will be hard to keep him focused on the work that needs to be done around the lodge. I didn’t ask but it’s safe to say the Poynter’s will be trying out some SE Alaska Chinook salmon for dinner tonight!
