I appreciate the feedback on the white board vs. wipe board debate. It’s settled. The message boards on the cabins are white boards. So, enjoy part two of the platitudes. Thanks again, everybody, for your kind and humorous words. …
Thanks, Part 1
Is it a white board, or is it a wipe board? The board is white, and you do wipe it, so what the heck is it called then? Feel free to weigh in on the debate in the comment section of Facebook. Every season, Jane and I are fortunate to have guests leave us notes on the cabin white/wipe boards. It’s been a …
Season Wrap Up
First of all, I’d like to thank all of you that chose to hire me as a guide and stay at our cabins. If it weren’t for you, I’d have nothing to blog/brag about. I’ve been asked by a lot of people how the season went. My response has been that Jane and I had a great year. We had consistent fishing for much of the season and that …
That’s All, Folks….
All good things must come to an end. On Sunday, October 9th, the tide was high enough to float the dock out for the year. The crew. Pictured from left to right is MJ, Ron, Dan, and me. Not pictured is Jane. Thanks everyone for all your help. See you next week for my annual end of the season wrap …
Fishing Report Week Ending 10/9/22
That’s it. Pictured above is the last silver salmon caught in my boat for 2022. There are still a few diehards fishing the lower river, but for me, the season is done. Fishing the river wasn’t the only angling I did this past week. I worked in a halibut trip too. I got a last minute call from Boo of Tall Tale Charters …
Fishing Report Week Ending 10/2/22
Is this the last silver salmon of 2022? It could very well be. This past week my neighbor, Dan, and I took my guide boat out of the water for the season. He’s helped me for years, and part of the deal is we fish one last time. It’s only fitting that the guy that helps with this task catches the only fish of the day. Way to go …
Fishing Report Week Ending 9/25/22
Sawdust and silvers. That best describes this past week. The Trapper Creek Timber Crew traveled south to assist me with the take down of dead spruce trees around the cabins. Trees were cut in the mornings, the afternoons were spent chasing silver salmon. We were successful doing both. Tim is the …
Fishing Report Week Ending 9/18/22
I didn’t guide everyday this past week. I was suppose to fish my sister and her friends, but circumstances caused them to put their Alaska trip on hold until next year. The rest of the week I was in the boat with old friends, and a few new ones, and finished the week guiding in a women’s only fishing event. I started …
Fishing Report Week Ending 9/11/22
Fall is in the air. Leaves are changing and I’m starting to wear long underwear. How was the fishing this past week? It was very good the first five days. The last two days were a struggle. I think the turbidity/debris from the recent release of the Snowy River glacier dam affected the bite. On to the report… …
Fishing Report Week Ending 9/4/22
Looking back at the month of August, it rained 26 out of 31 days. Not only did we fish in a river, we also sat in an atmospheric river. Water, water, everywhere. Not a lot of fun. But, the silver lining (did you see what I did there?) was the fishing. It was very good to excellent for silver salmon. Plenty of action …
