Classical and Nylon Stringed Guitars
Nylon-stringed guitars have always been poor cousins to the steel-stringed instruments favored by contemporary musicians, but classical and Flamenco guitars produce some of the most beautiful sounds to emanate from an acoustic instrument.
Historically, Spain has been a center for classical guitar makers, as has Italy. In the United States, some of the biggest guitar makers began by making nylon-stringed instruments. Gibson started with nylon, as did Martin.
In particular, Martin has been enormously influential. In the 1950s, its OO-18G, with a spruce body, mahogany back, and rosewood fingerboard, set the standard, and collectors covet such gorgeous examples today.
But Martin's most famous nylon-string guitar is arguably one of the worst looking instruments on the planet. It's a Martin N-20, which was purchased in 1969 by Willie Nelson. Nelson plays with a pick, even though the N-20 was designed to be played by finger-style player, hence the lack of a pick guard. Nelson calls his beloved Martin Trigger, and he's rode his axe hard, so much so that he's carved a deep, ever-widening hole in the front of the guitar between the bridge and the sound hole.

Religious fidelity and free speech can learn the art of coexistence despite the acerbic challenges that have flowed from the terrible Paris shootings and the arguments about Charlie Hebdo magazine, says Ekklesia associate and Middle East analyst Dr Harry Hagopian.

Let Go made Lavigne the youngest female soloist to reach No. 1 in the UK, and the album was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. By 2009, over 16 million copies had been sold worldwide. Her breakthrough single, "Complicated", peaked at No. 1 in many countries around the world, as did the album Let Go. Her second album, Under My Skin, was released in 2004 and was her first album to peak at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, eventually selling more than 10 million copies worldwide. The Best Damn Thing, Lavigne's third album, was released in 2007, becoming her third No. 1 album in the UK Albums Chart and featuring her first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, "Girlfriend". Lavigne has scored six number-one singles worldwide, including "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "I'm with You", "My Happy Ending", "Nobody's Home", and "Girlfriend". With more than 30 million copies of her albums sold worldwide, Lavigne is one of the top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S., with over 10.25 million copies certified by the RIAA. Her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, was released in March 2011. Goodbye Lullaby gave Lavigne her fourth top 10 album on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and her third No. 1 album in both Japan and Australia. Three months after the release of Goodbye Lullaby, Lavigne began work on her fifth album, which will be released on Epic Records following her departure from RCA Records.

English 9 / Mrs. Walsh The House on Mango Street A Reader-Response Approach The House on Mango Street is a unique story of one girl's journey in, through, and beyond the streets of her childhood. While Esperanza is a Chicana youth from Chicago, her trials and tribulations ring true for anybody who has felt that he or she hasn't belonged, or who has had the desire to grow beyond emotional restrictions and physical restraints. During this unit, students will be expected to respond both critically and creatively to the novel, the actual physical construction of which is far from orthodox: The novel grabs the reader by the hand and takes them on a rip-romping, jump-roping, tear- jerking, knee-scraping game of tag. The story is not told in typical linear fashion; there isn't much of a beginning, middle, or end. Instead, numerous vignettes circle around the interactions of Esperanza and the people she loves, and those she meets on the streets of her neighborhood. The vignettes revolve around a few specific themes, which gives cohesion to the novella. As a simple coming of age story, The House on Mango Street, can be underestimated. Cisneros has an impressive and original voice in her writing, and readers must interact with her text, not let the words passively cascade over their eyes. Students must talk back, ask questions, argue and wrestle with the words on the page, because those words represent a life, a struggle, an existence that needs to be and deserves to be discovered, and rediscovered. Each student will uncover his or her own truths about Mango Street…which is what the author intended. The House on Mango Street Analytical and Creative Writing Prompts Note Please complete only the numbered questions (the analytical prompts) as you read. The "Creative Prompts" will be addressed in your final project, and you will only be required to select five of them at that time! (This is not to suggest that you can't at least glance at and consider which ones appeal to your creative impulses!) Chapter One - The House on Mango Street 1. The house on Mango Street isn't what Esperanza wanted. What did Esperanza want her house to look like? What does this chapter tell us about Esperanza's social and economic status? Creative Prompt: "You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing." Write about a time when someone made you feel like "nothing." Chapter Two - Hairs 1. From the description, what kind of relationship does Esperanza have with her 1 mother? Creative Prompt: Cisneros uses vivid language to describe the hair of each family member. And in doing so she hints at the personality of each member. Write a brief, but vivid description of your family members' hair types, being sure to hint at their personalities through your description. Chapter Three - Boys and Girls 1. What do you learn about the narrator's culture from the way the children are thought of and the way the children behave? What does this vignette tell about the relationship between males and females? 2. Esperanza has to take care of her sister, Nenny. She wonders if she'll ever be free; she decides, "until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor." Discuss the metaphor of the red balloon: What are the associations with a red balloon and why does this fit Esperanza's situation? Who or what is the anchor? Is it more than just her sister? Creative Prompt: Write about a responsibility you have that is directly related to your gender - being either a boy or a girl. Discuss if this is a fair requirement and ponder what responsibilities you might like to have. Chapter Four - My Name 1. Explain what Ezperanza's name means in Spanish; who is she named after and why doesn't she want to "inherit her place by the window?" What does it mean to her in English and why? Why is hard to navigate between two cultures? Creative Prompt: What is the origin of your name? Does it have any cultural or family historical significance? Do you have trouble dealing with your name and the expectations of that name? If you could change your name, what would you change it to and why? Revise your copy change, and incorporate this information. Chapter Five - Cathy Queen of Cats 1. What do you learn about Alicia? Why do you think Alicia stopped being friendly with Cathy? 2. What do you learn about Esperanza from the way she accepts the stories from Cathy? 3. Find the elements of danger that exist in Esperanza's neighborhood. Find the hidden elements of discrimination in this chapter. Creative Prompt: Cisneros uses a unique objective style to describe Cathy, Benny and Blanca, Alicia. She illustrates these people in a very straightforward style. Describe three unique people in your life using Cisneros' observant style. Chapter Six - Our Good Day 1. How does such a simple thing as obtaining a bicycle create such joy in Rachel, Lucy and Esperanza? What do they see when they ride the bike? How does this 2 reinforce the landscape of Esperanza's neighborhood? Creative Prompt: Write about a simple thing that caused you great joy? Try to figure out why? Chapter Seven - Laughter 1. Several vignettes have been about more than the facts they present, for instance "Hairs" and "My Name." Here is another vignette that is about more than mere details. What is the theme of the vignette? 2. Why do both Nenny and Esperanza think that the house looks like Mexico? Creative Prompt: Cisneros uses a simile to describe the sisters' laughter - "Our laughter for example. Not the shy ice cream bells giggle of Rachel and Lucy's family, but all of a sudden and surprised like a pile of dishes breaking." Write a simile to describe the laughter of one of your family members. Chapter Eight - Gil's Furniture Bought & Sold 1. What does Esperanza buy and what could that purchase symbolize? Why doesn't the old man sell the music box? What could it symbolize to him? Creative Prompt: What do you have that you would never sell? What does it symbolize to you? Write a copy change incorporating this information. Chapter Nine - Meme Ortiz 1. What does Esperanza remember most about Meme's house? Why and what could it symbolize? Creative Prompt: Write a haiku about a memorable "item" of your house or neighborhood. You can read interesting haiku and find rules for writing one at http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/. Chapter Ten - Louie, His Cousin & His Other Cousin 1. What is Marin's role in the family? 2. Where did Louie get his car? Why, even though he did something wrong, does the reader feel sympathy for him? Creative Prompt: Write a brief statement (1-2 paragraphs) that Louie would give to the judge to influence his sentencing. Chapter Eleven - Marin 1. Describe Marin's personality. What is her wish? And why is it tragic? Is she or isn't she like Esperanza? Creative Prompt: Marin is described as "singing the same song somewhere." Write an original refrain for a song that characterizes your dream. Chapter Twelve - Those Who Don't 1. Complete the fragmented title of this chapter. Why are people afraid of Esperanza's neighborhood? Why is Esperanza afraid of other neighborhoods? 3 What causes fears and prejudices? Creative Prompt: Write about a time that you felt afraid in another neighborhood. Do not write a copy change, but do incorporate carefully chosen details, imagery, and syntax to suggest your feelings. Chapter Thirteen - There Was an Old Woman She Had So Many Children She Didn't Know What To Do 1. Why are the Vargas kids bad? Did anyone care when Angel fell to his death? Why? 2. The title of this chapter resembles a nursery rhyme - explain how the stories are similar and how are they different. 3. What is Rosa Vargas' life like? What is the solution? Is there fault? Creative Prompt: Write about a person you know (a friend, neighbor, etc.) using a well-known nursery rhyme to help describe what that person is like. Alternately, write a nursery rhyme that describes your family or one that you know in your neighborhood. Chapter Fourteen - Alicia Who Sees Mice 1. What are Alicia's responsibilities since her mother died? 2. Why is she afraid of mice and fathers? What could mice symbolize? 3. What is not being told in this short story? What can we infer? Creative Prompt: Write a letter to Alicia to make her feel better. Chapter Fifteen - Darius & the Clouds 1. "Here there is too much sadness and not enough sky." Where is "here"? And why is this ("too much sadness, not enough sky") so? 2. What is the theme of this "prose poem"? Creative Prompt: Write a prose poem about the simple things we sometimes take for granted. Incorporate poetic techniques, like imagery, incomplete syntax, and personification. Chapter Sixteen - And Some More 1. Why does Lucy say there are only two types of snow? 2. Who is the speaker of each line? Can you attach a name to each? 3. Why does Cisneros alternate between kinds of clouds and the names of people? 4. What is the destructive element involved in this scene? Creative Prompt: In this vignette, the names of people turn to imaginative insults. Write a list of original insults (minimum 10) that are more inventive than hurtful (i.e. cockroach jelly). Then, write a dialogue between two or more fictional characters (you may use your own, or well-established ones, like Bart Simpson and 4 Cartman), who get into an argument and call each other these names. Be sure to use proper dialogue format! Chapter Seventeen - The Family of Little Feet 1. Why does this "Cinderella" fairy tale become dangerous in Esperanza's neighborhood? Find the allusion to another popular fairy tale when the bum talks to the girls. Why don't they complain when the shoes are thrown away? 2. What is happening in this vignette that is so powerful that the girls want to forget that it happened? Creative Prompt: Use a popular fairy tale to reference in a mini-story an event in your life. The event should surround a moment of growing up too fast. Alternatively, look at Anne Sexton's poems, "Her Kind" and "Cinderella." Then, write a poem using another, similar fairy tale (such as "Snow White" or "Sleeping Beauty") to reflect upon the theme of sexism in society. Chapter Eighteen - A Rice Sandwich 1. Why doesn't Esperanza's mother want her to eat at school? What does the nun do to Esperanza that makes her cry? Why does the nun do this? Creative Prompt: Even though the nun wasn't "yelling," she hurt Esperanza just as badly. Write a letter to someone who made you feel less than worthy without yelling at you. In this letter recall the incident and explain to that person how he or she made you feel. Chapter Nineteen - Chanclas 1. Why is everyone laughing and having fun at the party except Esperanza? How does Esperanza start to have fun? Discuss the difficulties Esperanza faces because of her economic situation. 2. What is the significance of the last two lines of this vignette? Creative Prompt: Think about the concept of Fashion. What part does it play in the social sphere of Northern Highlands HS? What happens if you don't have the money to buy those Juicy shirts or Fila sneakers? Create a collage that reflects the role of Fashion and its fallout at NHRHS. Chapter Twenty - Hips 1. What does she just wake up with one day? What does Rachel say they are good for? How does this fit a sexist ideology? 2. How does Esperanza use Education for a sense of empowerment? And even if she is not completely accurate in her statements, why is this a step in the right direction for Esperanza? 3. This is another story in a series about the burgeoning sexuality of the girls. Why does the author contrast the talk of developing bodies with the songs of the jump rope? What is the purpose of the juxtaposition of these two topics? 5 Creative Prompt: Write a jump rope song about what you wish you get. Use Esperanza's original song for inspiration. Chapter Twenty-One - The First Job 1. Why did Esperanza want to work? Why would public school be detrimental to Esperanza's education? What could the pictures represent? And why doesn't Esperanza know where they come from or where they are going? 2. Which quality of Esperanza's personality shows up while she is at her first job? What information do you have from previous stories about Esperanza and other women in the book that would account for Esperanza's shyness and reticence? Creative Prompt: Write a survival guide or how to guide for Esperanza's first job that might have helped her. Chapter Twenty-Two - Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark 1. Why must Esperanza tell her siblings that can't play today? What side of Esperanza's personality do we see in this chapter? 2. What phrase does Esperanza use that indicates she feels more an American than a Mexican? Creative Prompt: Write an obituary for Esperanza's Abuelito (grandfather). Reference your local newspaper to see examples. Chapter Twenty-Three - Born Bad 1. What was wrong with Guadalupe? What are the lessons Esperanza learns about disease, her dreams, writing, and death? Discuss the meaning of Esperanza's poem. Creative Prompt: Write a last will and testament for Guadalupe. Remember she doesn't have a lot of belongings, but imagine what she could have. "I leave _______ for ________, because or to show___________." Chapter Twenty-Four - Elenita, Cards, Palm, Water 1. What is the symbolism in Esperanza's choice not to watch TV, but to stay and have her cards read? What does she learn about her future home? And why is it important that she learns this? 2. Is there anything in the story to indicate that Esperanza is still a little girl? Creative Prompt: Draw a tarot card that shows Esperanza's future home. Research the Internet for pictures of Tarot cards. The following is a useful site: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/tarota.html. (Search the different decks for a style that suites you.) Chapter Twenty-Five - Geraldo No Last Name 1. What happens to Geraldo? 6 2. Why does Marin wait at the hospital? Why didn't the surgeon come? Why does she use the derogatory term "wet-back?" What effect does this have? Why is his story so important to know? 3. If Marin did not know Geraldo very well, if she did not even know his last name, then how does she know about his life? 4. Who else has no last name in the story? Why is this so? 5. The use of an anonymous character is a popular technique used by writers. If the character can be anyone, then the character can also be the reader. Giving a character a sense of universality is important when the writer wants to impress her theme on the reader. Is Geraldo like you? If you think the answer is "No," please think about whether or not you carry any identification with you when you go out. If you were hurt and unable to communicate, would strangers be able to tell who you were? Would you even have a first name? Creative Prompt: Use graffiti to give Geraldo a last name and a story. Look at some graffiti on the Internet: http://www.graffiti.org/ Make sure you look at sketches and pictures. (Notice that some graffiti incorporates pictures; this option is up to you.) Chapter Twenty-Six - Edna's Ruthie 1. What do you think is wrong with Ruthie and why? Use evidence from the book to support. 2. Why can't Ruthie be all the things she could have been? What might the last line of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" symbolize? Creative Prompt: Write psychiatrist notes for a session with Ruthie and you, her doctor. See an actual example: http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/080366tx-shoot.html Chapter Twenty-Seven - The Earl of Tennessee 1. Here is a case where the observant reader is smarter than the narrator. What kind of a narrator is Esperanza, therefore? Explain the last paragraph of this vignette. Earl works at night. Why does his "wife" look different to everyone and "never stay long"? Creative Prompt: If Earl had a car, design a bumper sticker that he would be proud to display. Briefly explain your design and its relevance to Earl. You can find some examples of bumper stickers on the Internet at http://www.internetbumperstickers.com/. Chapter Twenty-Eight - Sire 1. Who was Sire? What did Esperanza do differently than other girls when she walked by him? Why did she do this? 2. In one ear, Esperanza hears her mother's voice which says that "those girls are the ones that go into alleys." Esperanza also wonders where Sire takes Lois 7 and what happens there. What is the conflict that Esperanza is in? Would you describe the conflict as Esperanza against another person, against herself, against nature, or against society? Who out there could make a case for all four? Creative Prompt: Turn this chapter into a "found poem." Use select words and phrases, rearrange their order (if you want). Think of this as magnetic poetry - you can only use the words & phrases on the page. You can find an explanation and examples of found poetry at http://www.foundpoetry.org/blog/. Chapter Twenty-Nine - Four Skinny Trees 1. Why does Esperanza relate to the trees? This chapter is all about symbolism! Find and explain all the symbols. What do the trees teach her? And what does this show about Esperanza's future? Creative Prompt: Design a tattoo that you think symbolizes something about you. Briefly explain what the tattoo means to you and where you would wear it. Would everyone get to see it? Would it be personal and private, only for you to know about? You can see some flash tattoo art at http://tattoo-art.com/catalog/. Chapter Thirty - No Speak English 1. What difficulties arise for Mamacita when moving to Mango Street? How are her troubles similar to others in this chapter? Why does she become upset when the baby boy begins to sing the Pepsi commercial? What does she feel like she is losing? And what has she lost? Creative Prompt: Imagine you had to move to another country because your family was moving there. Your family moves before you and knows the language; then you arrive. Write a brief, but telling, story of your struggles and desires to return home - like Mamacita's story. What would you miss? Chapter Thirty-One - Rafaela Who Drinks Coconut and Papaya Juice on Tuesdays 1. Why is Rafaela getting old? What does she wish she could do? Why can't she? 2. Compare Rafaela to Marin. Why does this seem to be the common condition of women on Mango Street? Creative Prompt: Write a persuasive paragraph to the women of Mango Street. Try to convince them that there is more to life. Remember that they may be in a different situation than yourself, so take that into consideration when you construct your argument. Chapter Thirty-Two - Sally 1. Sally is yet another person from Esperanza's neighborhood. Describe Sally and the difficulties in her life. What does Esperanza wish for Sally? Why does she wish these specific things? Creative Prompt: Write a dialogue between Sally and her father. He has just caught her coming out of school dressed differently than the way she left the house. 8 Chapter Thirty-Three - Minerva Writes Poems 1. Minerva's life could be the future life of which character? 2. What is the matter in Minerva's relationship? Why does Minvera write poems? What does Esperanza learn from Minerva about abuse and about poetry? 3. Esperanza says she can't do anything for Minerva, but is she doing something already? Creative Prompt: Compose a poem that Minerva might have written and squeezed in her hand. Chapter Thirty-Four - Bums in the Attic 1. Of what is Esperanza getting tired? Why doesn't she go out with her family anymore? How is this vignette adding to the ongoing theme of maturation? 2. When Esperanza owns her own home, whom won't she forget? Explain if this is true. Remember that this novel is loosely based on her real life. Creative Prompt: Esperanza talks about the people on the hill, who live close to the stars. Write a letter from Esperanza to the people on the hill. Chapter Thirty-Five - Beautiful and Cruel 1. How are Esperanza and her sister thinking differently than Minerva and other women? How does Esperanza challenge strictly defined gender roles? Creative Prompt: Draw an image / create a collage of Esperanza breaking traditions. Chapter Thirty-Six - A Smart Cookie 1. What are the different ways that Esperanza's mother is smart? Why couldn't she ever be "somebody?" 2. Here we have another cautionary tale and this one is told to Esperanza by her mother. Esperanza's mother warns her about refraining from participating in life because of shame. Refraining from life will only perpetuate the shame is her lesson. Explain the significance of the last sentence: "I was a smart cookie then." Creative Prompt: Write a resume for Esperanza's mother. Sample resume: http://www.career-resumes.com/sample3.html Chapter Thirty-Seven - What Sally Said 1. What situation does Sally have to deal with? What does Sally say? How and why does she cover up certain incidents? Why does she go back? Creative Prompt: Research a single story or general issues of child abuse and write a report recounting the story, or a factual list of occurrences and other information. Child abuse stats: http://www.ncvc.org/stats/ca_csa.htm Chapter Thirty-Eight - The Monkey Garden 9 1. First we have a garden. Could this be an allusion to another garden? What famous gardens do you know? 2. Next we have a description of the garden that the children take over. Describe it when they first have it. What happens to the garden as time goes on? 3. The plot of this chapter is about a garden, but a good story is always about something other than the plot. If this story is about something more, then what might the garden be all about? (This will speak to the theme of the story.) 4. On page 96, Esperanza tells the reader that this was a place she wanted to die and where she tried to die. She indicates that this would be the last day she would be in the garden. Therefore the events that follow this must be significant. You are being told to pay attention. Will you? Following this attention getting paragraph, Esperanza asks, "Who was it that said I was getting too old to play the games?" If this immediately follows the attention getting paragraph, this question might be important. Again, what is the story about? 5. Esperanza witnesses some interplay between Sally and Tito and the boys. Esperanza becomes angry in a way that seems out of proportion to what is happening. The action between Sally and the boys must represent something more important to Esperanza. What is it? 6. Esperanza can not explain her anger and her desire to save Sally from the boys. Can you? 7. Afterward Esperanza is embarrassed and upset. She wanted to be dead. Did she die? Is there any way you could think to explain that a part of her died that day? What part might it be and how did it happen? 8. Consider: "I looked at my feet in their white socks and ugly round shoes. They seemed far away. They didn't seem to be my feet anymore. And the garden that had been such a good place to play didn't seem mine either" (98). A symbol is an object that represents a significantly more complex idea. Think about the shoes Esperanza is referring to. She mentions them in "Chanclas." In this story, what do the shoes symbolize and why do they no longer seem to be her feet anymore? Creative Prompt: Do some research on famous Mexican artists like Jose Clemente Orozco, Frida Kahlo, and Diego Rivera. Then, create a poster in a similar style (bright colors, flattened images, etc.) that incorporates the imagery and the sensations associated with the Monkey Garden episode. Chapter Thirty-Nine - Red Clowns 1. What happened to Esperanza in this chapter? How does thus disturbing tale fit well with the sights and sound of the carnival? Creative Prompt: Create a poem from the words in this chapter to convey the emotional impact of this tragic event. Chapter Forty - Linoleum Roses 10 1. What or who was Sally trying to escape? Why does Sally like being married? How old is she? What isn't she allowed to do? What kind of life is she living with her husband? Does owning all those "things" make her happy? The image of a window reappears throughout the novel. Women are usually seen staring out it. What could the window symbolize to these women and why/how? Creative Prompt: Write some lyrics to a folk song that reflect Sally's situation. You might look at Suzanne Vega's "My Name is Luca" (http://www.lyricstime.com/suzanne-vega-my-name-is-luca-lyrics.html) for inspiration. Chapter Forty-One - The Three Sisters 1. What did Esperanza wish for? What did the three sisters tell her to do? Why is this advice so important? Does she follow their advice? How do you know this? How is her way of coming back helping the other people in this book? Creative Prompt: Write an imaginary dialogue between Esperanza 20 years from now, returning to Mango Street and encountering one of her old neighbors. Chapter Forty-Two - Alicia & I Talking on Edna's Steps 1. What does Alicia teach Esperanza about Mango Street? Why does Esperanza think that the mayor coming to Mango Street is laughable? Who is going to change Mango Street? Creative Prompt: Esperanza lives at "4006 Mango." Write an urban legend or folklore type tale about her house. For inspiration, look at the Weird N.J. web site at http://www.weirdnj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=4&Ite mid=28. Chapter Forty-Three - A House of My Own 1. Esperanza describes her dream house; what is it like? Compare this house to the house she dreamed of in chapter one. What is the main difference? (Hint: It's the use of one word.) She also compares a blank sheet of paper and the process of writing to her future home. How are these two ideas dependent on each other? Creative Prompt: Imagine Esperanza's future home. Describe one room, in great detail. Try to include emotion in the inanimate objects. You might, for example, use personification or another type of descriptive language that appeals to the reader's senses. Chapter Forty-Four - Mango Says Goodbye Sometimes 1. Why is the last chapter similar to the first? What effect does Cisneros create by writing like this? What knowledge does Esperanza now have that makes this chapter different than the first? Will Esperanza escape? What will her avenue of escape be? What happens when she writes? Creative Prompt: Draw a circle diagram, pinpointing the key points in Esperanza's life---the moments where she grew, or learned a hard lesson, or came to a profound conclusion. 11 12

May is a yin-and-yang month for Alaska anglers.
Yin are the silvery schools of small hooligan that flood Cook Inlet, bound for their spawning grounds in fresh water.
In response, a cadre of anglers with long-handled nets gather near the mouth of Twentymile River, aiming to catch dozens of the oily fish, also called eulachon, that can reach 10 inches.
Yang are the mighty king salmon returning to their freshwater birthplaces.
Anglers working salt water off the Kenai Peninsula are catching kings exceeding 20 pounds. And in five days, Alaskans can celebrate the anniversary of a great fishing moment -- the day in 1985 that Soldotna fisherman Les Anderson landed his world-record 97-pound king salmon on the Kenai River.
While in-river fishing is starting slowly this year, salt water anglers are scoring.
"It's very good actually," Van Saun Charters owner Rod Van Saun of Ninilchik said of the offshore king fishing. "Almost everyone who's tried has had good success. And we've had a couple fish in 40-50-pound range."
Using downriggers and flashers, Van Saun trolls near the beach in 10 to 30 feet of water with herring. In the latter part of May, herring and hooligan cluster close to shore, attracting kings. But by June, feeder kings disperse and most mature kings move into their spawning streams.
"In the past couple of years, the king runs haven't been that strong," Van Saun said. "But I know for a fact, there's been a lot more kings caught than at this time last year."
"You can potentially catch a king and get a couple of halibut, and that's a good day of fishing."
Kings close to shore sometimes lure surf casters and anglers like Anchorage's Rudy Tsukada, who paddled his sea kayak a couple hundred feet offshore and managed to land a 27-pound king that measured 37 inches about three miles south of the Deep Creek campground.
"You know, it was a lot more stable than expected," said Tsukada, who grew up in Kenai. "I was more afraid for the guy netting the fish."
"The interesting thing from my perspective is that it was still a feeding king, not a spawner," said Tsukada, who fought the fish for 15 minutes before bringing it to net.
Here's Tsukada's account on his fishing blog:
"I had a whole purple-size herring that I was using for halibut, but had it rigged so it would roll so I just trolled it back in. I was thinking about just reeling in my line since I was having such a hard time paddling.
"But moments later, Whammo! Are you kidding me? It's not the bottom. Nope. It's a fish. The kayak was stable and (my fellow kayaker) makes the perfect net job despite my net being way to small.
"The only time I just about flipped the kayak was when I took the fish out of the net, and it slid off my lap into the foot wells. I guess 27 pounds of weight shifting the edge is not good. Felt like I came within inches of rolling the yak."
Until June 30, closed areas at the Anchor River mouth have been extended two miles north and south of the river as well as up to one mile offshore. A one mile on each side of the mouth of the Ninilchik River is closed to king salmon fishing through June 30, except fishing from shore is open May 28-30, June 4-6 and June 11-13.
Fish and Game is reporting that trollers are catching feeder kings off the south side of Kachemak Bay, Bluff Point, Point Pogibshi and north to Ninilchik as well as the nearshore salt waters of Anchor Point, Whiskey Gulch and Deep Creek.
Popular trolling set-ups include herring, hootchies, tube flies and spoons. Dodgers and flashers offer extra attraction.
The other end of the size and thrill scale is the scoop-scoop-scoop dipping for hooligan.
Hooligan netting is a personal-use fishery open only to Alaska residents, who must carry a sport fishing license or a Fish and Game permanent ID card.
Hooligans are beginning to trickle into Twentymile River on the Seward Highway south of Girdwood and big tides next week should push clusters upstream. Watch for seagulls and eagles nearby, a good indication that schools of the oily little fish are nearby.
"There are a few hooligan in, but they're not in in any kind of numbers," state area management biologist Dan Bosch said Wednesday.
Bosch visited the Twentymile twice Tuesday. Only a single vehicle was parked during his first visit. The next time, there were two.
"Hooligan fishing is going to be very poor right now," he said. "Next week's big tide cycle is going to bring in a lot."
Fish and Game says the period from two hours before high tide to two hours after usually is best. Experienced netters try to work near the bottom where the current isn't so strong and fish often linger.
Southcentral fishing:
Anchorage Area: Fish and Game biologists don't expect many king salmon in Ship Creek before Memorial Day weekend. The creek is closed through June 14 from the Chugach Power Plant Dam upstream to Reeve Boulevard.
Mat-Su: Kings may start nosing into a few northern Cook Inlet streams mid-month. The Little Susitna River downstream of Burma Landing and the mouth of the Deshka River are typically the first places anglers report catches. Expect the Eklutna Tailrace fishing to remain slow into June.
Prince William Sound: Shrimpers have been faring well and rockfish angling with herring jigs and bait near herring spawning sites has been productive.
Resurrection Bay: Eldorado Narrows during slack tides has proven productive for halibut anglers, who should fare better as the weather warms.
Lower Cook Inlet: Streams along the Sterling Highway south of the Kasilof River are closed to all fishing. The lower portion of the Anchor River, defined by Fish and Game markers, opens to king salmon fishing May 21-23. King salmon should start arriving in Homer's Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon in a couple of weeks.
Upper Kenai Peninsula: Slack water immediately below the Tustumena Lake outlet has yielded a few lake trout and Dolly Varden.
Steelhead fishing in the Kasilof River can be fair with some catch-and-release steelhead fishing. Most anglers fishing for steelhead are doing so in the Kasilof River near the Crooked Creek confluence. Only one unbaited, single-hook artificial lure is allowed and steelhead/rainbow trout may not be removed from the water. Crooked Creek itself is closed to all fishing through July 31.
