I thought I would put up some pics of the flies and jigs that we use for the Silvers here in the Situk River near Yakutat Lodge.

16 pound Silver

What a great day, with two of the best Yakutat Lodge clients I have ever had. Thelma who used to work here in the 90’s, and her Grandson Donovan (aka:Elton) were so much fun to be with. I have been with them three times now during there stay, and every day was better than the one before. The first day we limited on Sockeye and Dolly Varden. The second time out we limited on Sockeye and caught and released pinks all day. Today was the best. We left the Dolly’s and Sockeye alone and just went for a fun day with pinks, and a chance at an early Silver. Well the day started out with Elton hooking a big bright King that barely got away. Then came the hours of good Pink fishing. We got a limit of Pinks and released many, many more. During the Pink fishing, Thelma hooked a nice 20 pounder or so King, it also got away at the last minute. Then we headed down to try our hand at some Silvers. It is really early in the season, but the last couple of days we have had some mediocre results. Then all of a sudden we were on to a big boy. The fight was really uneventful because we were in tide water and the fish stayed down bullied it’s way to the boat, but when it hit the net I could not believe the size of this Silver. It was so fat, at first I thought King. After looking for just a second I could tell that we had a huge Silver. It weighed out at 16.1 pounds, and was just a great fish to bring in. We also got one other Silver, but it was only about 3 pounds. Here are the pics from the days out, and the Silver today of course.

We had a great day today on the Situk. After leaving Yakutat Lodge this morning, we headed up for what was suppose to be routine day on the water, little did I know we were going to hook over 100 fish. We started out with Sockeye and absolutely murdered them. I don’t know how many we landed, but it was a stupid number for sure. Then we hit up the Dolly Varden, and wow was it hot fishing. I know we hooked at least 100 Dolly’s. Then we went for Pink Salmon, and “Oh my God” did we ever get into them. Landed at least 50 each with three guys. Then just we we thought it was at it’s best, we ran into some early Silver’s coming in on the tide. We hooked up with four big boys, and got two to the boat. These were definitely bonus fish, as were the incidental Kings. Here are some great pics from the day, and a video to come later.
