I fished with four guests today on an eight hour trip. We caught three king salmon and lost a fourth after the tide went out. The fish were between 14 and 24 pounds and all were very fresh. It appears that a few fresh fish are still coming in on the tides. The water remains low but has come up slightly with the rain. It was very cold this morning, 34 at the landing.

Little Su 6-21

2009-06-22T12:57:00.002-08:00

I fished the morning with two groups of two. We fished the lower river as the tide was coming in. We caught one King Salmon in mid 20's range during the first drift and two Jacks about one hour later as the tide began to run out. We fished several holes coming back up the river and caught one more King in the upper 20 pound range. Both of the larger fish had sea lice but one was blush and the other was chrome/ grey. The fishing has been steady with groups of four getting between 4 and 8 bites during the morning trips.

Greg fished with two groups of two. They had five bites, fought five fish and boated three. The fish weighed fourteen, eighteen, and twenty-one pounds. The river has come up slightly and became a little bit muddy, but is still fishable. Today they saw several beavers, many eagles, ducks and a cow moose with twin calves walking along the edge of the river. Greg's clients also saw a black bear along the bank.

On the way down river, Greg and his clients saw a black bear about a mile below the landing. Greg had four clients. It was a cool morning - overcast. They had five bites, fought three fish and boated one that was twenty one pounds. Water conditions remain low and clear despite recent rainfall in the Little Susitna drainage.

Greg fished with four clients in the afternoon. They missed several bites, but boated two jacks and two small kings weighing about fifteen pounds. They saw a cow moose and her calf wading the river. All in all it was a good day of fishing.

I fished the Little Su today with 5 clients, the fishing has been and continued to be good. We had 8 bites, hooked 5 and boated three fish. They weighed 21, 25 & 26 pounds. The clients had enough fish and when the rain began we called it a day. I think that I could have got a 4th fish in the boat in the last hour of fishing.

We have been seeing Moose, Ducks & Chicks, Eagles, Cranes and an Otter today. Bring your camera with you on the river.

I fished with two clients today, we had three bites and landed two fish for a 100% catch rate. We boated our first fish at 6:15 am, a nice 34 lb male that was very fresh. The client was a returning customer and commented that in two trips he has spent less than 45 minutes fishing for kings. We had a good bite, great hookset but did not get a fish at 8:30. I refished the hole and hooked a fish and boated it at 8:45. A nice female that weighed 22 pounds, but was longer than the 34 pound male we caught.

2009-06-11T12:09:00.002-08:00

I spent the morning fishing with 4 other guides, we have an annual derby and rowing contest. The fishing was slow with a 18" Jack and 34 lb king landed just after 10:00 am. We had a great time and it was nice to sit in a seat while being rowed.

My afternoon trip was with two clients, we had 6 bites, hooked four and landed two fish. The fish we landed were small but king salmon. The two that got away were better fish, one looked to be about 25 lbs and was ocean bright in the sun as it jumped. The other looked to be over 30 lbs and had a hint of red on the side. I had a good look at it as it came to the boat before the second run.

We fished the Little Su today and the river was busy. We had four bites hooked and landed three of the fish. We caught a 26 lb fish, 24 lb fish and a 16" jack. The water remains high but fairly clear. The fishing remains slow on the river there were 14 fish through the booth when i left at 1:45 pm today and I know that 11 of those were caught by myself and other guides.

If you are looking for a salmon trip we have both mornings and afternoons available, give us a call at (907) 745-1712.

I went out for an afternoon trip with a family of four. Th weather was great and the water was excellent. We had four bites on the trip but did not boat a fish. The morning trips of other guides had similar results with even fewer bites. I attribute it to the large number of boats on the river. It seems the boat traffic spooks the fish and we are not able to fish as many prime holes.

Little Su 6-5

2009-06-07T09:15:00.002-08:00

We had a morning trip today with four clients. The water conditions are still pretty good. We had 5 bites on this trip hooking three of the fish and landing two. They were 34 and 32 pounds, one was very bright the other was blush. I expect the fishing to get better every day. Give us a call or send and email to book your trip today.

2009-06-03T15:08:00.002-08:00

I took my wife and two friends fishing today. The water was low and dropped throughout the day. We hooked two kings and landed a nice 28 lb male. This made my wife and 2 year old very excited. The river was very busy and the fish count at the booth was 8 when we went through. There were several guides fishing and lots of boats I did not recognize. I would guess they were Deshka fisherman. I expect to see more fish coming in through this week if the run follows the past trends.

May King Fishing

2009-06-02T09:42:00.003-08:00

Late May King Salmon fishing was what we expected. There were a few fish in the river but hooking and landing them was difficult. We fought three fish and landed one on our three may trips. We did however see several Moose, eagles, beaver, ducks and a river otter. After visiting with other guides it appears that the fishing has picked up as more salmon are moving into the river. Give us a call at 745-1712 to book your king salmon trip today.

First King Of the Year.

2009-05-25T19:31:00.002-08:00

We had our first king salmon trip of the year on the Little Su and brought home a 28.5 pound female. The fish had some color and no sea lice. We had another bite but did not get the hook set, for an early may trip we met our goal of a fish in the box. I would expect the fishing to improve over the next week as the run matures. The water conditions were excellent but with the warm weather I expect to see more color this week.

Winter Pike Fishing

2009-04-09T07:46:00.002-08:00

We have spent several days at the cabin this winter preparing for the summer of 2009. Pike fishing was great this winter and we pulled several fish through the ice that were between 30" and 40". We are building a shed this spring and working on some wiring. I also have plans to make some additions to the cabin in the summer. We expect to have some great fishing adventures this summer.

Pike & Lake Creek

2008-09-29T19:06:00.003-08:00

We went up to the lake for the last two weekends to fish for Pike and Rainbow trout. We had a great trip, but it was very cold running the river both trips. The first weekend was rainy and we got in some morning duck hunting as well as spectacular fishing. The second weekend the weather was much better but the water has dropped to the second lowest I have seen it ever. It was work getting into and out of the lake. We caught some nice pike, lost a few big ones and landed nearly 100 rainbows and grayling while we were fishing over the two weekends. A great way to finish the year at the lake. We plan on fishing for more rainbows and grayling on the local streams and I will report how we do fishing in early october.

Moose Hunt

2008-09-10T18:30:00.002-08:00

I have been busy hunting Moose with my buddies and their kids. I took my friends son out opening weekend, three adults took out the three boys. We snuck up on a very nice fork horn bull and got him friday night in unit 14. We packed him out that night after a lot of work and set out the next morning. I went with Bill and his son, we saw 16 moose, three bulls that were all between the size restrictions. My other friend, Dave took both of his boys down the trail and shot a 36 inch bull with three brow tines. We packed that moose out and called it a weekend.

I then went with the same two friends and their wives to unit 13. Bills wife got a nice fork horn opening morning and we got it to camp early in the afternoon. Bill and I walked around in the evening spotting 7 bulls, all were sub legal until we spotted two very nice moose. After a 4.5 mile hike in the afternoon we stalked within 250 yards of both bulls, I dropped min and bill missed, that bull ran off. My moose was 55 inches, 5 brow tines one side, three on the other. We hunted for three more days not seeing another legal moose until half way out Bill shot a nice fork horn bull. He dropped it with one shot in a swamp. We winched the moose out of the water, onto dry land and had it skinned, gutted and loaded in just over an hour. All in all a great year of moose hunting, 5 moose in two weeks.

2008-08-29T23:10:00.003-08:00

I took a trip of three fisherman today, Larry Csonka, Audrey Bradshaw and Jonathan from Wolverine Lake Lodge. We had a chase boat with the film crew (Pat & Kevin) and shot some fishing action for Larry and Audrey's show, North to Alaska. The fishing was a bit slow as it can be later in the season but we hooked fish on eggs as well as mepps and vibrax spinners. The water conditions were great and we could see schools of fish holding in the river. We fished several holes, starting at the slide hole and working our way up river. We released all of the fish careful to watch for bleeders. All in all we had a great day of fishing followed up by a some excellent conversation with Larry and the crew about our adventures, dogs and kids. This was a great group of folks and I would welcome them in my boat anytime. Until the next time we are out pike fishing in September have a great weekend.

Little Su 8-10

2008-08-10T19:11:00.004-08:00

I fished two trips today. The first was with clients at 6 am. We caught our limit on bobbers and eggs. The fishing was good and the take is still good. In the late morning and early afternoon I took my sister, two nephews and niece. We caught three fish, hooked two others and missed a few more bites. We were using bobber and may have done better back trolling but had fun and enjoyed the sun. The river has come up significantly and was becoming very dirty with the rain runoff. The USGS shows that the water level is spiking on the lower river tonight, dropping again with a slight increase tomorrow afternoon following todays rain. I would expect fair fishing in the morning.

Greg

Little Su 8-9

2008-08-09T21:04:00.003-08:00

I fished the little Su today in the afternoon with four clients. The fishing was slow, due to higher water and poor clarity. We caught eight salmon keeping one that was a bleeder. We missed several other bites using bobbers and eggs. The river was as busy as i have seen it all year long and the boat traffic was likely adding to the reduced visibility in the water. We saw Ducks, several Greebe and three Bald eagles today. We caught one very notable Pink, it was around 30 inches and weighed over over 5 pounds.

Little Su 8-8

2008-08-08T15:19:00.002-08:00

I had two guided trips today, one with four clients and the other with one.
We caught 8 silvers and a chum on the first trip. We caught the fish using bobbers and eggs today. The fishing has slowed down , this is normal for the third day of bait fishing. We also caught a pink and released it today.
On the second trip we caught four silvers, releasing one. We tried lures and bait, each worked effectively but the bite had slowed down since the am trip. I am sure the boat traffic effects the afternoon fishing. The river was at least as busy today as yesterday, I expect it to be a Zoo tomorrow. The water was slightly clearer in the morning and much dirtier on the second trip.
