September salmon on the fly!


 Well the salmon fishing on the fly has been nothing short of spectacular! 25 to 75 fish days have been the norm for 1-2 anglers :)
We have landed some nice early coho salmon on the fly this week, so it's looking like it should be a great season for them as well. 
Although we haven't hooked one yet, we have seen quite a few chum salmon starting to roll around too, so it shouldn't be long before
we are battling those brutes on the fly!! All of my guests can't say enough good things about the new rods on board this season.
The LOOP Cross S1 series has been our go to rod for salmon, and on a guide boat you see all kinds of rod mishaps.... These ones are
still going strong!! Can't believe the abuse they can take, just incredible. October is just around the corner, so if you want to book a
trip for coho, and chum salmon on the fly, act fast as we only have a few dates left.

Fresh pink salmon and huge sturgeon

We had a great week so far catching fresh pink salmon on flies, jigs, spinners, and spoons. More and more fresh fish are arriving daily. The big sturgeon are really keying on fresh salmon parts and we are catching some great fish!! Check out some pics of our last group, they landed 28 fish between 4' and
7 1/2 feet long in three days!!

Back at it!!!

Well after receiving a few emails wondering if I was still alive? I realized that I've really dropped the ball on my blog! I guess between a miserable bow hunt for mountain goat, where everything that could go wrong, did! A non stop Pink salmon season on the fly, where 50 to 100 pinks a day left me exhausted and going through flies to the point where I had to tie more right on the river! Or the miserable, cold, wet start to Coho salmon season, it slipped through the cracks. I also have spent every extra minute between work and sleep working and playing with my new obsession, my WR250R! So rather than go into too much detail I'll just throw on some pics to tell some stories. I promise to stay on top if from now on though as the Coho and Chum on the fly begins to light up. Oh and there should be some duck hunts to post about pretty quick as well if all goes as planned ;) Take care, and check back soon!
