Today I guided Tom, Maury, and Phil for Salmon. We hit the water at 7:00 AM and headed up to the first hole to see what we could find. We put on sardine wrapped K-15's and started back trolling, but as we went through the hole there were no fish on the screen so we headed up river. We checked a few other holes on the way up but did not find any fish until we got up around Stony Creek. As soon as we found fish we switched to roe and right off the bat it was fish on. We fought the fish for 15 minutes before slipping it into the net. It was a beautiful 20 pound buck and in the box it went. We headed back up and made another pass. As soon as Phil's bait hit the bottom he had fish on! The fish put up one hell of a fight and soon enough he had the fish in the box. We made a couple of more passes and came up empty so we moved on. At the next stop we hooked another nice fish and had it in the box quickly. We began fishing our way back towards the ramp as it was getting hot and the guys did not want to bake. We hit a couple more holes and got a few more bites but missed them. We ended the day with 3 salmon in the 17-25 pound range. The fish are fresh from the ocean and the meat is as bright red as I have ever seen. It was a great day on the water and these guys have already booked another day in October, so you will be seeing them again.
