About this ebook

Alaska Fish and Fire is a journey of a true Alaskan, who arrived in territorial Alaska by boat from Seattle as a young child. Author, Mike Chihuly, has lived in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ninilchik, and bush Alaska and travelled all over the state as he fished, hunted, trapped, was educated, worked as a fisheries biologist, guided fishermen on Cook Inlet, and ran a fire department. His life, with his Russian/Aleut wife, Shirley, who was born on Afognak Island and survived the 1964 Good Friday earthquake, has centered around Alaska's waters. From the streams and rivers giving life to salmon, to the fire quenching waters of a life-saving fire hose, water has been an integral part of the Mike's life. Share this exciting journey through the eyes of someone who has had their boots on the ground and in the water in Alaska for more than 60 years.

Author

Mike Chihuly

Upon arriving in Anchorage, Mike Chihuly's father immediately began to drag him all over Alaska fishing, hunting, and trapping, with a you're-on-your-own parenting mentality. Mike has spent his last 60 years in Anchorage, Interior Alaska, Kenai Peninsula, and Wood River Lakes of Southwest Alaska. He was educated at the University of Alaska Fairbanks where he met Shirley, the love of his life. Mike was appointed to the Alaska State Board of Fisheries by Governor Steve Cowper, employed as a professional fisheries biologist for state and private business, owned and operated a Cook Inlet fishing guide business, and volunteered as an EMT, firefighter, and Fire Chief for Ninilchik Emergency Services. He has written numerous local and national magazine and newspaper articles about topics that range from hunting with bird dogs to the challenges of operating a small rural fire service in Alaska. Mike is retired and lives in Ninilchik, his home for the last 33 years.
