Silvers continue on the march upstream!

                      The Silvers are coming in bunches now. They are running very large this year, and there is no slow down in sight. Pink Salmon continue to be a nuisance, but you can work around them to get to the Silvers. Black and Pink jigs are all that is required to catch both species. Using a 3/8 oz jig in higher water, and 1/4 oz in the lower water areas. Today I took two clients from the Yakutat Lodge down river in the drift boat. We started in a hole called the "High water hole", but were unsuccessful. We then floated down to an unnamed hole, and caught and released one Silver that had already started to turn red, then minutes after we got a nice chromer. We then drifted down past "Muddy Creek",  were we came across a nice calm water area, and were able to take three more nice fish. After getting a limit, we threw on some pink jigs, and headed to a hole to fish for Pink Salmon, for a little fun fishing. After catching about 40 Pinks, we called it a day and headed for home.

Here are some pics from today's catch.

Good luck out there.

   By the way, the water is not to high, and the weather has held up real nice so far!
