Deshka 6-16

I visited with Heather at the Deshka Landing Charters & Lodge she said there are lots and lots of fish in the river. She said the Kings are jumping out of the water every 7 seconds. She said the fishing was poor with short periods of fair fishing. The guides and clients are working hard but only hooking a few fish each trip. The general consensus is the water is to low and warm, causing the kings to not want to bite. She said that there were a few people swimming in the river today and that that is virtually unheard of this time of the year. The warm weather should bring the water temperature up and if this happens before the kings swim up river the bite should resume. There hjas been 1473 kings through the weir as of the 14th with 1277 fish going through that day.
