Here we go again

Well these four guys can't get enough. As a guide for Yakutat Lodge, I have seen a lot of types of fisherman, but these guys are great. They are fisherman, not people that just go fishing. We caught a ton of fish today, and I have the pleasure of taking them for the next two days. Another one of the Yakutat Lodge guides (John),has been teaming up with me in the last couple days, and I can't say enough good stuff about him. With John and I joining forces, these fish don't have a chance. I like to use the line, "Let's catch every thing in this hole, and leave it empty", well with over 500 hundred fish in the hole, this maybe a stretch, but we put a big dent in them. Also I caught a large king on my fly rod today, and the got a great release vid of this giant. This king was only 2 minutes out of the ocean, and looks like he had a scrape with an otter on the way in. Here are the pics, and the vids.. Enjoy,,,,,,, More to come. All pics are of different fish.

No go on the Situk for Chinook retention eh?  That sucks, but the pics, and vid are nice as usual.

Always fun having legit anglers as clients, for sure!

Awww!  The Akwe!  Thats a short hop from Yak. I have only fished it twice, but it was fun!  Spinners, and plug swinging from the bank really low in the system was pretty devastating.

I need to get up there...
