Living in Hawaii for over 50 years now, I’m quite familiar with a variety of raw and nearly-raw preparations for fish.

Please enjoy this Mediterranean inspired dish created by guide/chef Christopher Langeman.

While perhaps an unusual way to start things off, I’m going to tell a joke, or rather provide you with a very broad outline of one.

This “Bear Tale” comes to us courtesy of Al Archibald, Great Bear Lake veteran, and in his own words “… a finely tuned athlete.” (lol) This tale clearly shows that fishing later in the season on Great Bear Lake, while having its challenges from time to time, can be otherworldly if you stay the course, and have the right attitude and approach.
