When I was a boy growing up in Anchorage in the 50's I recall my friend saying they had discovered a new place to fish with thousands of Sockeye..called "Russian River"..Back then you could drive up to Portage Glacier and walk on it. We lived top of "Omally" road which was dirt, only two neighbors nearby.. we shot and ate moose from our yard.
 My how times have changed.
