Fishing Report Week Ending 8/24/14

Ben, Drew, John, and Joey

What a great week of fishing (and catching too!).   The river water levels finally started to drop which lead to the first large surge of silvers.  

Not only was the fishing excellent on the river, it was also good off of the dock.   Here's Joey Martin with a one cast, one fish exhibition.

It's definitely an added bonus for guests of ours to come down to the dock and throw spinners for salmon.

This was perhaps the dampest, coldest morning of the week but the fish sure didn't mind.

My college roommate, Don Jamieson, sent the Woods' family my way for a fishing excursion.  I asked them what kind of day would they like. Besides just being out on the Kenai, they said they would like to catch a few to bring back to Washington but they also wanted to have some action.  Sure enough, both the pinks and silvers did not disappoint.  It's not very often I can "script" a day because Mother Nature will  have her own plans.  But this day was one of those days were it all came together.   Fun for me, fun for them.

I also had the good fortune to once again fish the boys from PolyCom. I originally met these guys through my friend, the late Phil Dreyer.  As you can see, they sure didn't lose their touch when it came to catching silvers. If you notice, Gary Blinn is in this photo.  No, it wasn't a "photo bomb" moment but the night before our scheduled trip the fourth in their group couldn't make it and Gary jumped in.  Well, it was kind of photo bomb moment but Gary actually caught his own fish.

 Another successful day on the water.

Thought I'd end with a few photos from the camp cookout.  Feel free to make your own joke up about the flannel clad, Team Mississippi pose.

See you next week for a new fishing report.
