Little Su 7-2

I fished the Little Su with my wife, another guide, his wife and their son. We fished for about four hours and landed 2 fish. We missed a couple of bites, likely jet planer bites. The kings were very red, to the point I questioned if they were suitable to eat. Both of the fish were in the low 20 pound range. We moved around looking for schools of fish to target and we did not see them in the numbers I had just previously observed two days ago. There were small schools of three to five fish in most of the holes but the larger holes did not hold the larger groups like we expected. It appears that the fish on the lower portions of the river are moving up to the spawning areas. We did note that there were fish absent from some of the normal lower river spawning beds, one explanation for this is that the fish are not stopping at these spots or they may come in later. The water has come up slightly as a result of the rain the past couple of days but it still remains low. we saw a family of Merganzers and a cow moose in the river as we were coming back to the landing at noon. It appears that the King fishing on the lower river has a day or two left and will be effectively over for the year.
