Little Su 8-9

I fished the Little Su this morning with 5 clients, 3 adults and two young ladies ages 8 & 10. These young ladies had a great time with the silvers and were very tired after fighting the fish in the current. They had fish that ran hard and went to the air often. There is nothing better than taking kids fishing when they are catching fish. We had a great outing with everyone limiting out on Silver Salmon and one fresh Chum Salmon. We were fishing from the anchor in a hole down river and floating cured salmon eggs behind a corky. The fish were not biting hard, a slow take with a steady pull that gets increasingly heavy. We hooked a fish approximately every 15 minutes as they were moving up the river in small schools and milling around in the hole. We had several other bites but either missed them or lost the fish during the fight. All told we hooked close to 20 fish this morning. One of the clients was casing into the current and bouncing his eggs down stream after I pointed out fish moving along the inside of the corner of the hole. He was content trying something different from the rest of the party and hooked all of his fish using this method. The fish were all very bright silver with the exception of one large male that had a hint of pink on the upper portions of his back and side. The water is still higher than it had been last week but is rapidly dropping according to the USGS flow data. It appeared to have dropped 6" by looking at the newly exposed sand bars while we were fishing this morning. The clarity is pretty good, it is still a bit dirty but I think this helps keep the fish from spooking both up and down river. Best of luck I hope to see you on the river.
