To some, life can sometimes feel boring, or even depressing during the long, bone-chilling Alaskan winters. That is why it's so important to find winter hobbies to keep busy during these dark and freezing months. In this video, we show how we've been passing time this winter. We've recently started ice fishing, and in this video, Matt catches his first fish in Alaska: a 19.5 inch rainbow trout! We've also been cooking and baking more this winter, so we baked a homemade turkey pot pie, tried our hand at some poor man's caviar (trout roe), and baked up the delicious rainbow trout Matt caught.

We would love to hear from you!

Hi, we are Emily and Matt, and welcome to A Glimpse of Alaska! In September 2022, we (along with our puppy Aurora) made the nearly 5,000 mile drive from our home in Florida to our new home: Alaska. We created this channel to document and share our adventures in this wonderful state.

We appreciate each and every person who spent time out of their day to watch this video! If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing to our channel. We will be continuing to document all of our Alaskan adventures including hiking, fishing, gardening, working on our homestead, traveling in our truck camper, and so much more!
