So far both the summer weather and the fishing have been fantastic!!
Trolling for King Salmon has been very good, with lots of hook-ups and very few lost fish. Our new Lamiglas rods are preforming terrific and really make the fishing a lot more exciting. They are truly a welcome addition. Catching Halibut trolling was a real suprise for many new clients. Hooking a 60 pound plus Halibut on a downrigger rod designed for 25 pound to 40 pound fish was a real challenge. Catching a limit of Halibut was fairly easy, with so many hook- ups, the difficult part was deceiding which ones to keep and which ones to release. The Silver Salmon are just starting to show up in the bay. It won't be long and they will push their way up steam.
Fishing for Pink Salmon (Humpies)in the streams is at its peak. Fly fishing for them has been hot, with most clients catching and releasing an average of 5 or6 an hour. Our son, Sam, (age 11) has tried his hand at fly tying and found a good fly for catching Chums. Sam gave it to someone that caught the first Chum of their life using it.
