Another day where the fish just don’t want to cooperate. We got into 6 fish, and landed two. The two guests of the Yakutat Lodge, that I had today, were a great couple of guys from Galveston Texas. They were good fisherman in their own right, and did real well with the wood and the snags. 3 of the fish were on fly pole, and one of these were landed. Here are the pics from today, and also a good release video.

Good luck out there.

Today was the slowest start of the season so far. We fished the top half of the river real hard today, with no strikes at all. The water was real cold this morning, and the fish were not on the bite. By the time we got half way down, I was worried that we were not going to get a fish today. We kept at it hard, until we hit the 3 mile mark, and then it happened. We rolled onto a nice group of fish laying up under a tree. When we came upon them, they shot out from the tree, and went into a nice little run perfect for fishing. We got into 6 fish here, with none to the boat. After this pod ran dry, we headed to the clay bank hole, and it happened again. This time we hit into another 6 fish, but this time we got one to the boat. This was Dave’s first Steelhead ever. After fighting with 5 of these beauties, he was able to bring one to the boat. A nice spring fish, with a great fight in it. Here is the pic from today, and also another underwater vid for you fish porn lovers. See ya all tomorrow.

Good luck out there.

The internet has been down for a few days, so I need to make up some time. The Yakutat Lodge client I was with today, is a returning client for the last several years. We had a tough day on the river. Struggled just to find a hole to fish. With the campers, the other drift boats, and the Jet boats, we were sent 12 miles of the 14 before finding a hole to cast in. After all the hours of frustration, we finally found some fish. We hooked up with 5, and brought one to the boat. Here is the pic, and also a pic from another fisherman on the river,that I was able to assist in landing his fish, (By giving him a net and a glove to handle the fish with). So here they are.

Good luck out there.

Well Tim and Bill had a great trip, and I will see them for Steelhead at the Yakutat Lodge again in two years. Bill will be returning for Silvers next September. Yesterday was a slow day with only one fish brought to the boat, but today made up for it, with 7 fish to the boat. Too tired to write much, but I will say the sun sucks, and the clear water could go away anytime. Here is the fish porn for the last two days. Also a couple release vids for you.

Good luck out there to all.
