Return of the Newcomb’s

Fishing is just getting better and better every day. The Silvers this season are nice, fat, and big. The number of fish has probably doubled in the last week. Every tide is now bringing in large numbers of Silvers, and still groups of Pink Salmon. Black jigs and spinners are the best bet for these awesome fish. I will say it again, if you can get here in the next couple of weeks, then do your best to get here. The fishing is just going to get better every day from now until the middle of October.

Here come the Silvers.

Today was the first real trip down the river for Silvers. While I was gone, there was a big storm, and lots of rain came down. (Approximately 16 inches in 5 days), so needless to say, the river was up a lot from the time I left. With this rise in water, the log jams all moved around, and the wind that came with the storm, also put down some new trees across the river. I had to cut one fairly good sized tree out of the way today, and I figure over the next week, there will be quit a bit more much more cutting to do.

Back to the fishing.

I started out today, just thinking about the rise in the water, and I was not sure how far up the river the Silvers had come. We got started targeting pink salmon, with lead head pink jigs. We got a few to the boat, when I heard Randy say on the radio, that they had already caught a Silver. I knew then that we should be getting into them anytime, because Randy was just around the next corner down. We switched over to black jigs, and it was on. We went to the next hole below Randy, and I don’t think it was more than 3 casts, when the first hookup came. This was a real nice Silver, weighed out at 16.7 Lbs. We got one more here, in a very peculiar way. With an errand cast, that when behind the boat, and over the back, behind me. I grabbed the line to retrieve the jig, and get it back out front, when a Silver grabbed it from my grasp, and the fight was on. This fish hit within 5" of the boat, then wrapped around the anchor rope, before we were able to wrangle him into the net. We struggled for some time after these first two, but we were able to limit out along the way.

All in all, it was a great day on the river, and the Yakutat Lodge clients I had today, were great guys, and fun to have in the boat.

We did see some bears, on the way out this morning, and I got one blurry pic.

The updates should be daily, from here on for some time, so keep looking for big Silvers.

I will let you know if I get any fish in the Morning at the creek. I am so glad to be on my home turf, even if only for a couple of days. I want to hit as many streams as I can, while I am home. Hopefully i can Get some nice fish, and some good pics, or vids. See you all tomorrow afternoon.

Great Jumpers at the Lake @ a Seagull

03 Monday Aug 2009

Well when the fishing slows down, and there is nothing left in the water, we take to the air. The video tells it all. This dumb bird flew directly into the hook during a cast. The line wrapped him up, and the hook took him down. I guided a great guy from Fairbanks today,(Merle) and the fishing was absolutely off the hook in the lake. There are so many fish in the creek that feeds the lake, you can walk on them. As these Sockeye head to their spawning grounds, they stack up at the lake, as they prepare to stage an spawn. So with 80 K over the fish counting station, and only a couple thousand left in the system itself, it shows how many have gone to the lake. I got some great video today, and what I think are some of the best jump shots I have personally taken at the lake.

Two days with the Hagen’s

Marla and Roy Hagen came to Yakutat with expectations of having a good time. They were not disappointed!!!. The first day off the plane, they were able to hit the ocean, and get into 8 Coho. The next day, they were strapped with me in the drift boat. We put in at nine mile bridge, and just sat and fished Sockeye until 11:00 O’clock. We were able to get 8 Sockeye here, and then floated down looking for Pinks. The Pinks were in foul mood this day, and we only got two in the boat. They got a limit of Halibut the next two days in a row on the ocean, including Ling Cod, Salmon, and rock fish, (Not limits of each). Then today we headed back to the bridge for more Socks. Well the fish just had there mouths closed, and it was a tough go of it. Although we only brought back three today, we had a great time playing with fish. There were some kings in the hole also, and Roy hooked and got spooled of 150 YRDS of line from a nice 30 Lbs big boy. That’s the way it goes though. This was a great two days with the Hagen’s, and I hope to see them, and more couples like them in the future.

Return of the Moulton group

01 Saturday Aug 2009

You may remember the Moulton group from last year on the Aqwe river. They returned for more this year. Although the Aqwe did not provide any good fishing this year, they still got into some Kings on the Situk. We could  not keep them, but we could play with them at least. The Sockeye fishing is winding down, but they still got some to the boat. We spent some time at Mountain lake the first day, floated the second, and fished at the 9 mile bridge the last round, where the majority of the Sockeye are held up. The second day was much better than the third, but we still had a great time getting into them. Mountain lake contains a large number of fish, but they are bit of a hassle to get to.

I hope I will see them again next year.
