Fishing Report Week Ending 9/7/14

They're baaack!

Dan and Meyer arrived this week and it was good to see old friends again.   It was a tremendous week of fishing and maybe it had a lot to do with being on the water with people like Dan and Mary.  Sure, we didn't limit out every single trip but we came darn close to running the table.

Here's an old family friend from my home town in Minnesota, Jim Vandeputte.   He's been up here to fish kings but this was his first silver adventure.   Jerry Hoffman was suppose to be on this trip but for medical reasons he had to cancel.  Get better RP, and bring Kegger with you next time.

Jim, however, was not alone and brought his son Chris with him. This was the first time Chris has been to Alaska and I feel pretty confident that it won't be his last.

Don't know what to say but here's Dan and Mary with one of many photos that will be taken in the next two weeks.

It was great to be in the boat with Bill and Linda Boettcher again.   Jane and I weren't sure that we would see them this year but out of the blue they contacted us and came down to unwind and spend a couple of days with us.   They were joined on this day by newcomers Mick and Becky from Minnesota.  A hot morning  bite and good company made the day go by fast.

 The following morning the Boettcher's joined forces with the Meyer's.  A lethal combination on a soggy day.

My two favorite people from Oklahoma are here again, Bob and Judy Kingsbury.  They are flanked by the Meyer's.   It was a fun day for me because this was the first time they all fished together.

Paul Harris has been fishing with me over the years and on this trip he brought his wife, brother, and sister in law.  It was another great day to be a guide on the Kenai River.

I finished the week fishing Bill, his buddy Kenny, and the Kingsbury's. It was a steady bite, and as you can see, the weather couldn't be better.   I do believe Judy's pink parka brought us the luck.

The week ahead is considered to be the traditional peak of the second run of silvers.  If it's remotely close to what this past week was like, you should see a lot of photos in my next report.   See you then.
