Fishing Report Week Ending 9/4/11

For most of the week the silver salmon fishing has been below average. Sunday, however, we were back to limiting out the boat. Hopefully, that will be an indicator for the the week ahead.

Pictured above are Kim, Taylor and Tanner Larson. I've known Kim for many years and he is good, good, friend of mine. He's been up to Alaska several times but this was the first time he was able to bring his kids with him. Fishing was a bit slow the day they were here but you would never know it by the smile on their faces.

Here's Tanner trying to get inside the mind of the fish. Good luck. Hey Tanner after fighting that fish I might want a refund for my tickets to the gun show! Actually, you did a nice job of reeling that fish in. Soon you'll be ready to tangle with a Kenai king salmon.

Here's the Beaver Creek All Star Team. Pictured from left to right is Duane, April, Mary, and Dan. Always a lot of fun to be in the boat with these guys.

Here's Judy "Nanook of the North" and her husband Bob posing with their catch. Judy had the hot seat two days in a row. I think it's her parka that made the difference.

I think the week ahead should better overall. The local fish biologist said that he predicts that the peak of the second run of silver salmon should start some time around September 7th-10th. Hope he's right.
