Well the fall backs are everywhere now, and the fresh ones just keep on moving in. The rain is back, and the fish are starting to show signs of going on the bite again. I had a couple great guys in the boat today. They are both pilots, and both a lot of fun to be around. Fishing was not slow, but not really booming either. The total count for the day was 2 for 7, with a couple other misses. Not to bad for  a couple rookies. Here are the pics from the day.

Good luck out there.

Fishing was not off the hook last week, but there were fish to be had. The return of Creighton and Bill is always a good time. We got into several fish, and fished hard for four days. The water is now dropping fast, and there are lots of  fresh fish still coming in everyday. The drop back Steelies are bunching up now, and the hens are feeding on everything in site. Sun the last two days have killed the bite, but rain in the future will turn it back on.  Here are the pics and also pics from a couple other of Yakutat lodge’s clients in the last week. If you have the time to get here, now is a great time to be at Yakutat Lodge. The fish are everywhere, new ones coming in still, and the sockeye are going to show anytime now. There are openings this next two weeks for any one that can make it up, the fish and the river will have no pressure.

I have seen two Sockeye so far, and I am looking forward to the big groups coming in any day now.

Kathy and Jim:

A great group of guys this week. Not many fish because of the sun, but did get a few.

Good luck out there.

It has been great fishing. Bud Gore ended up with over 25 fish to the boat in five days. Also a client (Tom), got into some nice fish and brought one to the boat. I have also has OJ Saito for two days, with only one 37 to the bank, but well over double digits worth of hook ups.

We have a new guide this year, Tom and I were able to go down the river and I got to see him get his first Situk Steelie. A nice 34” egg wagon, fresh from the salt.

I have had a chance to get out fish here and there, but tonight I really got the chance, and took full advantage of it. I have been seeing fish in one particular spot now for about a week, and a day ago I was able to get 3 out of there. Well tonight I got out and really had the opportunity to get some fishing in. I went straight back to that spot and starting whacking them good. I ended up with a total of 21 out of 38 to the bank in about 2 1/2 hours. Not to shabby. Everyone I caught tonight had sea lice and were pretty damn hot!. I really had a good time. Here are the pics. I got 16 on film and the other five got out of hand before the camera went off. Those that know me will notice I purchased a new Loop Fly Reel. Made in Sweden I think, but it is awesome, (Better be for seven bills new).

First time out!

The ones I got with Tom:

Tonight 21 for 38!!!  (14 pics of different fish:”)

If the guy on the river I saw that night reads this. You had a spey rod and got some on beads as i was leaving. Please hit the comment button and tell me how many more you got after I left. Thanks.

Good luck out there.

Well as I was sitting thinking about fishing today, I heard a car door shut out in front of the house. I got up to cure the boredom, and there it was, “A big king”. The young boy in the pic was the winner today. I did not get alot of the story from them on the fight. I was told that they did not think it was a fish at first, but just hung up. Then as the line came up to about twenty feet from the boat, the fish finally revealed itself, and the fight was on!. I got a few good pics of the fish. I am hoping my venture up to the Peninsula this next week will produce some nice fish. Also heard a report that the Sandy is getting a bunch of Natives right now. I am leaving to head back to Alaska in just a few short days, I think I have 10 days left. So if I don’t post before that, then be ready for some great photo’s and video’s for the next 6 months.

Good luck out there

Here is a pic of the log hole now after last weeks storm. Saw 4 fish today, but nothing to the bank. Been a slow year this season. Headed up North to Yakuitat in 2 weeks, should be better fishing there.

Good luck out there.

Well I found some water with some fish in it today, and went 3 for 7 today. Two of them were nice natives, and 1 really nice hatch hen. I had one on today that I think was pushing the 20 lbs mark, and she was pure chrome. I lost her though, so I will never know what she really had to her, but she was nice. Here are some pics from today, hopefully I can continue to fish this water with good results.

Good luck out there.
