June 10-15

I just spent five days on the river fishing with clients.  The water conditions are far from perfect for king salmon and the fishing has been challenging.  The water is very low and clear, this pushes the fish into smaller pockets within the holes.  Early fishing is the best and finding the fish is the biggest challenge.  With the low water levels there is a decrease in current increasing the challenge of backtrolling, I have noticed allot more anchors being used the last few days. 
We have seen a wide variety of wildlife from bull moose, cows with calves (in the parking lot and river at he launch), Beavers, Muskrats, Eagles, Geese and Goslings, Ducks with chicks and a wide variety of shore birds.
The fishing has improved slightly in the last few days, I have landed a fish for each client on my last three trips.  One client did not take a fih home, he elected to try for a larger fish. 
Today we hooked 4 kings landing two jacks, a 12 pounder and a 24 pound fish.  The fish have been very bright with only a few red ones coming from up river.  I have only seen two fish from down river that have had any color on them, one was quite red. 
We have openings this week and will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Little Su 6-5

I fished today with a group of four.  We had a great time but the fishing was slow.  we had two bites hooking one fish and landing it, a nice 30 pound male.  The weather was great, the water was a bit dirty due to boat traffic but still very fishable.

Little Su 6-4

It was rainy and cold today.  I  had three bites, we hooked one fish for about a minutes and it got off.  The water level is low and clear.  We have saw several moose , including a bull at 30 yards.

June 3

I took my first king salmon trip of they year today.  We fished allot of good water and caught two king salmon, a 12 and 34 pound fish.  Both were bright and covered in sea lice.  The water conditions were good but the fishing was very slow.  Several other guide boats landed just one fish today.

Hooligan

I went to the Deshka today to catch some Hooligan. I filled  cooler in minutes, that will hold me over until next spring.  It was a great time and they are still plentifull in the river.

I Took my boat down to the river, the fishing was reported as still being slow but I would expect it to continue to get better daily as June progresses.  We still have openings give us a call and lets go fishing.

Spring Fishing

Spring is upon us and the ice has gone out on the Little Su and Big Su.  There are a few reports of fish being caught on the Deshka at the mouth but fishing is still slow.  I have been getting the rods, reels and tackle ready as well as putting a fresh coat of paint on the boat and floorboards. We are starting our charters in late May and are looking forward to this season of awesome fishing, give us a call at (907) 745-1712 or email us at greg@alaskasusitnacharters.com to book your trip today.

Cabin December and January

I have been up to the lake every weekend since Christmas.  I have set out a few traps with my nephews, we are trying to catch Martin and ermine.  I have also put out a couple of Beaver sets next to an active beaver hutch.  We have had three martin in our sets and they have escaped.  I have caught one ermine and two beaver.  The temps have been from +30 F to -20 F on our trips with 0 to -5  being the norm.

We have caught a few pike, most trips are overnight and we have not set tipups out, be we did catch a 38" in Pike in Late December.
