Little Su 8-14

I fished the Little Susitna River this morning with three clients. We used both eggs with bobbers and mepps spinners. Of the eight fish we landed 7 were on spinners and only one on eggs. We fished several spots catching one at each until we found a large school of fish that were willing to strike and complete our limits. There are more fish in the river every day but the numbers are still much lower than I expect for this time of the year. I visited with another guide and he thought the mid point of the run was just now hitting, based on a surge of smaller fresh fish, the river and the fishing would be consistant for the next couple of weeks. We caught a few fish today that were turning red and are seeing more red fish in the holes every day although I saw fish brought in from down river that had sea lice on them today. We have openings for fishing in the afternoon and weekends this week.
