Today I guided Carol Miller on a salmon trip and Andy came along for the ride. We hit the water at 7:00 and made our way up river. We stopped at the first hole and within seconds of the lures going into the water it was fish on! Carol hooked the fish and within minutes he was in the net. The fish was a ten pound jack salmon but we were happy to have him. We made a couple of more passes in this hole as I was marking fish but they had lock jaw so we moved on. At the next stop Andy got a bite and caught another jack salmon. I did not see many fish in this hole so again we headed up stream. At the next stop we started up high and worked our way into the hole. Just as we got to where the run tailed out Carol's rod went down and it was fish on. Right of the bat you could tell it was no jack as it was stripping line off the reel. Carol fought the fish for 20 minutes before we finally slipped the net under the 30 pound buck. As soon as we landed the fish we looked up to watch all of the other boats swarm the hole so we moved on. We went back down stream to the first hole that we fished today and within seconds Andy had one try to rip the rod out of his hand but he was a little slow on the draw and the fish got away with his bait. He caught alot of shit from both Carol and I but it was all in good fun. We managed to box 3 fish today and had a few missed bites. It was not red hot but we had a great time on the water. The fishing should only get better as the month goes on and I am looking forward to many more days on the water this season.
