The fun fish showed up in decent numbers this week. However, a few pesky silvers got in the way too.
The fishing week started on Sunday. I got to spend a wonderful day on the water with our friends Taylor and Colette. We were hoping to target red salmon, but due to a declining run, decided to go after pinks and silvers. Not a bad Plan B at all.
On Tuesday, the pink and silver numbers picked up considerably for Greg, Pat, and Nick. A consistent bite made for a great day.
Nice silver Nick!
Day 2 for Greg, Pat, and Nick was a lot like Day 1. Lots of action and lots of fun.
The next day, long time guests/friends Mike and Mary joined Chris and Martin for an action packed morning.
After a quick break at the cabins, Chris and Martin were swapped out for Lance and Audrey. The willing biters did not disappoint.
Mike and Mary joined us again trying to complete a limit of silvers. Here’s Mary with the last fish of the day. Nice silver, Mary!
The following day it was Lance, Martin, and newcomers Jessa and Barry. Jessa had the hot hand and Barry caught the largest silver of the day. Since he is a novice, he said it was all luck.
We took a break, cleaned the morning catch, and went back out to focus on silvers. The action was consistent. We ended the day a couple silvers short of a boat limit.
The week ended with a third trip for Greg, Pat, and Nick. Another fun day catching fish and telling stories. I look forward to the next fishing trip with this trio!
For the week ahead I expect plenty of action to continue. We’ll be casting, trolling, and anchoring for anything that gets in the way of our lures.
Come back next Sunday to see what a grand river that owes us nothing has given us.
