Lake Creek 6-20

I visited with Eric Johnson of Northwoods Lodge this afternoon and the fishing has been good. He had four clients go home with three fish over 40 and one over 50 this weekend. He said the run is indeed late but they are coming in. The thunderstorm last night and warm weather has brought Lake Creek and the Yentna up so fishing was slower today but he said if the water drops tonight he expects the fishing to improve. He did not indicate if the guides were fishing the mouth or up the creek. He did say that it was 87 at the lodge and the Yentna is as high as it has been all year, Eric said the warm weather has brought it up almost 2 feet.
