This are a couple of great guys. We have had a blast over the last four days, with one day reaching nearly 25 hookups. Fishing is of and on right now, but the water is in good shape, and the fish are plentiful, just not always willing to bite. Having a great time at Yakutat Lodge.

Guide Training in Progress……………………….

Ok I don’t what to say about this. I have never managed people like this, and it is a bit tougher than I thought it would be. The new guides are good people, and two of them have many years in the fishing and guiding industry. One is green through and through, but reminds me of myself when I got started. I think this is going to be a great season. Looks like the new guys have it dialed in, and the clients will be very happy with their experience . Here are the pics from the last 3 days out with the newbie’s. You will notice than I am holding most of the fish. That is just because I caught more  HA HA HA……

Brian and I second trip out!

The internet has been out for a couple days, so here is the next day we went down the situk. We killed them yesterday. The fishing is real good right now, and I think we got into over 40 fish between Brian and I. We did not get that many to the bank though. The fish here are real hot this year, and the 20% landing ratio that claim is in effect for this river, really showed up yesterday.  I think we landed around 10 to 12 fish, and had many to the net, before they shook loose. Here are the pics and hopefully some vids.

First float, and it was a great day 2

After getting our work done on the Lodge’s tent camp, Brian and I got busy hunting down Steelhead on the Famous Situk river. Water levels are perfect for floating as of right now, and the fish numbers seem to be better than the last couple of years. Water temp is good, and not to much deep snow on the banks, (So the campers should be happy this year). We saw over20 fish yesterday, and got into about 20. These fish we were hooking up with, were hot fighters. We were only able to bring 4 to the boat, but we did get some great video. I got into my last fish after the light had left the sky. As we were coming to the landing, I saw a little wake at the top of the water and took a cast. You can see the results in the pic, and also I got caught with real goofy look on my face. We saw both Spring and winter fish in the river, so that is a good sign that we are looking at more fish earlier on this year. Instead of waiting until May to show up they are here now. Here are the pics and the vids.

Sometimes you get caught with a goofy look on your face.

First day back on the Situk!!!!!! Yeee Hawwwww

Well I am back at home again amongst the Steelhead I have grown to love so much. Had to work throughout the day, but I was able to mess with some fish tonight. I tried the mouth of the river first, but no movement at all. I ran into a friend of mine, that told me about some fish up behind a log that I have often fished behind, so I headed up to them. He had hooked up with two of them, so I knew there were some biters left behind for me. I found them quickly, and at first I was so excited I could not do anything correct. First I hooked myself, then my dog, then wrapped up around a branch and had to re-rig. So you would think this would end at this point, but not today. I re-rigged a total of three times before I got it together. One reason I will use as an excuse, is that I was perched on an icy log that had 0 traction. With one foot on a stub, and the other one slipping back and forth, I was not in the most stable place to be, but it was the only good action on the fish. There were around 30 fish in this run, and after the entire fiasco of the first 20 minutes, I was hooked up with a real nice 6 pound chromer. Soon after I hooked up again, and lost this one, about a 10 pounder. I was able to hook up and play with 8 of these beauties, and brought 3 to the camera. From where I was fishing the pics are all of fish at my feet below the log, so no good ones on the bank. There are three fish all together, but they all look alike from this angle, so hopefully they are ok to view. The light was also going away, so they are slightly dark.

The Situk is flowing great, and reports are ok to fair so far. I am floating tomorrow, and will have a much better report for you. I have heard that some winter fish have begun to drop back down, and are set up between nine mile bridge and the Cadillac hole. They fresh spring fish, “(“The ones I am after”) are starting to show up in little bunches also. I really believe this year, because of the low snow amounts this winter, and the mild spring being forecast, that the water temps and levels will be very fruitful for Steelhead fisherman. The last time we had a mild spring like this was in 2003, and the fishing was spectacular, but I will say this to everyone reading, “They are Steelhead, and they will do what they want, when they want”, so please don’t say, “But you said it was going to be great this season”, it is just a gut feeling.

Also here is a fish from a river back home. A big native on a fly.
