Today I guided Rick Sr. & Rick Jr. for salmon. We hit the water at 9:00AM and headed back up stream to where we had fished a few days ago. Within minutes Rick Jr. was hooked up and had the first fish in the box. We made a couple more passes without any bites so we headed further up stream to see what we could find. We saw very few fish on the sonar and very few rolling but we kept at it and caught a fish here and there as we worked our way down stream. We ended up hooking 7 fish and landing 4 today. The biggest landed was a 30 pound buck caught by Rick Sr. and Rick Jr. hooked into an even bigger one that we lost right at the boat. It was another great day on the water and I am sure that there will be a push of new fish soon.

Today I guided Rick and Estelle for Salmon. Again we launched at Ord Bend at 9:00 AM and headed up stream. We got to the first hole and immediately it was fish on. Pass after pass we were hooking fish, and within no time we were limited out! The fishing was so fast that after Rick and Estelle had limited out I went ahead and caught a couple for myself. Today all of the fish were caught on roe and in great shape. I had all 6 of the fish cleaned and the boat back on the trailer by noon. It was fast and furious, now lets just hope that it stays that way!!

Today I guided Rick, Nolan, and George for salmon. We all had things to do in the early AM so we headed out at 10:00AM to see what we could catch. We launched the boat at Ord Bend and headed up stream to see what we could find. The first couple of holes were not holding any fish but as we made our way through the next run it was fish on. George was the first to hook up and the others followed in quick order. We fished from 10:00-3:00 and then called it a day. We ended up hooking 8 fish today on roe and managed to land 5 of them. All of the fish were small jack salmon but they fought like champs and they cut beautifully. The meat was bright colored and firm, fresh from the ocean. It was a great day on the water and I think I may just continue to fish bankers hours for the rest of the season!
