This discussion is about the Kuparuk River

Grayling can be fairly migratory, and perhaps they were already elsewhere preparing for winter when I fished. From the Kuparuk River in Alaska. This is Troutnut.com's first picture of a springtail, a type of six-legged, non-insect arthropod. It's riding on the surface film under the mayfly's left tail. From the Kuparuk River in Alaska.

Posts: 3The second picture in the series with Slope Mtn and the Pipeline in the background is actually Oksrukuyik Creek, not the Kuparuk River.

Posts: 3I drive quite a bit between Prudhoe and Pump Station 4. I fish quite a bit between Pumps 3 & 4 and fished that stretch of the Oksukuyik a few times.
