I fished the Little Su this morning with four clients. We landed 2 fish weighing 24 and 22 lbs, one was slightly red and the other fish was very red. We had two other fish on but lost them and we missed a couple of soft bites or tail strikes, I could not be certain of the strike and am skeptical. The fishing slowed down after the sun came up, the water remains low and clear and the sun appears to make the fish stop biting. According to the fish survey at 1:30 pm there had been 20 fish caught today but there were only a handful of anglers on the river. The other guides did about the same as I did today, all at or near 50% catch rate.
I noticed today that a few of the upriver holes had new snags in them, no doubt due to the flooding last fall. Some of the holes also had significant errosion and have changed. If you are up river watch for the snags. I do not have another trip booked until next week and will not likely go fishing until then. The King season is winding down on the little Su but there are fish to be caught.
