little Su 7-29 pm

I fished with 5 gentlemen in the afternoon. The water cleared from the morning, it was dirty due to boat traffic and low levels.  We fished several holes picking up a fish or two here and there.  We caught 9 silvers and two chums.  We let go several chums and lost 3 silvers.

We saw an otter at the same spot as yesterday, it was swimming up river dove and drug a filleted carcass back down river, a cool sight that we all enjoyed.

I am taking the weekend off, thankfully there was allot of traffic and big boats headed to the river. Be careful, in my opinion some of the larger boats will not have the water depth or room to maneuver in a safe manner.

little Su 7-29 am

I fished with 3 guests today, we caught 5 silvers and two chums.  We let a couple of chums go and lost at least 4 silvers.

I fished with a group of four today.  They wanted a full limit so we caught 4 fresh chums, let 8 go in doing this and then went after silvers.  We hooked several fish and landed 7 silvers.  We lost two silvers very close to the boat. The last silver was caught as a lure dangled from a branch, jigging works!!!

 I saw moose, a beaver, coyote and black bear today.

Little Su 5-15 am

I had a group of four this morning for a silver salmon trip.  We landed one silver, had two other salmon on and had another bite.  I am not sure if the two that got off were silvers or chums. It was a slow day of fishing, the water is very low and a couple of boats make it very murky in a hurry.  We did see a bull Moose, Cow moose with 2 calves (in the upper parking lot), a river otter, a beaver, several eagles and ducks. 

Pike Fishing 5-12 to 5-14

I took my wife, kids, nephews and niece to the lake for some pike fishing.  We had a great derby with some top water action and caught two very large pike one was 38" the other was 44".  It was great to be out and having a good time relaxing and fishing.

Deshka 6-25 pm

I fished a early afternoon group starting at 11:00 due to the early am trip.  I fished with 3 young boys and their father.  The 6 year old hung a 24 pound fish on the first drift.  It was an epic battle, with the 52 pound boy winning. The second fish was a 22 pounder caught by Dad about 6 minutes later,  The third and fourth fish were about 15 pounds and 11pounds each caught over the next 50 minutes.  The morning and afternoon trips today were lots of fun for everyone involved including the guide!

Deshka 6-25 am

I fished the Deshka with two guests today.  The water level was good and the fish were moving.  We caught one king salmon, 18 pounds, on the first drift.  We had it in the boat at 6:04.  We hooked another fish 10 minutes later but had to wait until 7:05 to hook and land the second fish. There are lots of eagles and shore birds on the river and a report of a brown bear two days ago.

6/24/11

Deshka 6-24 am

I fished with four guests today, we hooked 5 king salmon on salmon eggs, spinners and plugs.  We only managed to land one of the fish a 17 pounder in good condition.  The Deshka is very busy and the number of fish below the weir is getting smaller daily.  Lots of birds today, no moose or bears.

6/16/11

Little Su 6-10 to 6-14

King fishing has been slow.  We are getting 3 to 5 bites per trip and it appears that 2 of them are likely jacks.  The river will close Friday night at 11pm as per an EO from ADF&G.

On the bright side we will be fishing on the parks highway, the Kaswitna River was a good spot the other day as i fished it with two other guides on a scouting trip.  The other Highway streams are likely to produce fish as well this weekend.

Little Su 6-9

Greg fished today with a group of three. They hooked three and landed two (34 and 15 lbs.). Saw moose, ducks, many shorebirds and bald eagle on the river. Fishing seems to be improving. We still have some openings if you want to catch king salmon call Lori 745-1712!

6/8/11

Little Su 6-8

I fished today with four clients.  The water was dirty today and this made for tough fishing.  We had 6 bites, fought 4 fish landed two but let a 22" Jack go.  We also lost a large (30-35 pound) and Bright King as it jumped next to the boat. We saw Moose, Ducks, and a beaver.  I will not be fishing in the morning but will be back at it Friday.

Little Su 6-6-11 pm

I took Lori and the girls out for a short ride.  We saw a moose, Duck with ducklings, a beaver and a river otter. We also managed to hook and land a small 12 pound king while sitting on the anchor eating lunch. Talk about being excited, Kaylee fought it most of the way in after I saw that it was not a hog. The water was very dirty this afternoon, not sure if it is coming up or the boat traffic.

Greg

Little Su 6-6-11 am

Took a group of four out this morning.  The water was down a bit and had good visibility.  We saw several moose including one cow with a very small calf.  We had 5 bites today hooking 4 fish.  We lost two of the fish, one was a smaller king, slightly bigger than a jack the other looked to be a 25 pound fish.  The two we caught were 15 and 34 pounds.  Both fish were caught on K15 kwick fish.

6/5/11

Little Su 6-4

I fished the afternoon with two wonderful ladies in search of King Salmon.  The water remains high and muddy but the clarity was better in the afternoon than in the morning.  We saw several moose and ducks.  The fishing was slow but we managed two bites and boated both fish just shy of 6 hours.  Being persistent helps.  The fish were 32 and 34 pounds each and covered in sea lice.  I have a few openings left this week and expect the fishing to improve as the run progresses.

5/29/11

Little Su 5-29

I fished this morning with three guests. The water is up a foot from yesterday.  It is dirty with lots of trees, sticks, grass, leaves and other debris in the river.   We had a great trip that started of with a 30 lb fish in the boat in the first 15 minutes.  The fish was bright but did not have sea lice.  The remainder of the trip produced two bites with one hookup but the fish self released after a moment.
We saw lots of birds and a couple of moose today. The fishing should improve over the next few days and we have open seats.
