15 Fish in 75 Minutes


Recommended Posts

This week’s fishing was highlighted by the biggest fish of the season (a 25# king), and Wednesday morning’s catch of 15 fish in 75 minutes. Fishing was excellent for the first half of the week and slowed a little toward the weekend as the fish scattered. Most of the week we fished between 100-125 F.O.W., but fish were caught out to 170 and as shallow as 65 feet of water. Some of the salmon being caught are beginning to darken as they get ready to run the river. The first batch of cold water near the piers will certainly produce some excellent fishing for the mature kings. Highs in the 70 are forecasted for next weekend. The run may start early.

ProTroll flashers and Rapture flies continue to be the best producing presentation. The best combinations were: 8†blue wiggle w/ a blue bubble fly, 8†chrome w/ a wild fern fly, 8†green glow w/ a wild fern or hypnotist, 8’ white glow w/ a frosted fern, 8†chrome green w/ a no-see-um fly, and the 11†white glow w/ purple no-see-um or hypnotist flies. Ace-Hi Silverhorde plugs were productive on the 300’ copper. Green glow w/ black ladderback, silver redhead, and green splatter back plugs went consistently throughout the week.

Perch fishing was good this week. We caught 90 on Tuesday despite fishing 4-6 foot seas in 65 F.O.W. Cooler water on Thursday and Friday moved the perch into shallower waters, but the perch bite continued to be good. Perch were caught on minnows, shrimp, and salmon eggs.
