I talked with Heather at the Deshka Landing Charters & Lodge again tonight. They had two boats out today and had 9 fish on. She said the guides thought the fishing was picking up and there were more fish in the river. She said they are busy the next couple of days with trips and she will have a better rport for me next time. The water levels and king numbers throughthe weir look promising for this week and weekend.
I visited with Norm from Rainbow River Charters, he was fishing the Little Su today due to slow fishing on the Deshka the last week. He said he expected the fish to come in any day on the Deshka, He said the sloughs below the Deshka are full of fish, but it is near impossible to catch them in the murky/ fresh water mix. The weir numbers for yesterday are up, there were 543 kings through the weir for a total of 1523 kings for the year. The water is dropping slightly (tenths of an inch) each day but it appears that the run is coming. I will call the Deshka Landing Lodge and Ron for an update later this afternoon.
