duckydoty Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I know a few of you are getting ready to head up north to Alaska so I figured I would post a report to get you all fired up. The Naknek River system has been fishing great. The silvers have moved in and are on the bite. The big males of 14 and 15 pounds have just started moving in and are being taken on the bead and buggers. Flesh colored flies have been picking them up too. King Salmon Creek is just plum full of silvers right now and what an exciting place to catch them. The sockeyes are just starting to drop eggs so that means the char and dollys have moved into the Naknek. Monster rainbows are still crashing on smolts and they are starting to switch over to the egg. Giant articulated egg sucking leaches were irresistable to one rainbow this week that was 31 inches long and had a 17 inch girth. Come on September! All the bows you can shake a stick at in the 6 pound plus range. Magrot Creek has all the bears in it right now. They are plucking ripened red sockeye out of the creek like it was an Arkansas tomato patch! Dealing with the bears has produced a couple of 10+ pound char this week along with quite a few decent bows in the 8 pound range. Idavaine is unbeleavable right now. No other out fitters go over there during this time of the year but after the greyling and rainbows we caught this week, I personally can not understand why. So what if 22 bears sneak up on you in one day and look at you as if you might be a tasty change from sockeye. That just makes the journey more exciting! Oh yes! Brooks........ One resident bear right now and multiple chances at 29 and 30 in bows all day long uninterupted by the bears. You could not ask for a better time to fish Brooks right now. Hope to see some of you Southern boys soon! Duckydoty A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 24, 2008 Root Admin Posted August 24, 2008 I see you changed your residency to Alaska... you dog. Will be up there to help reel in some bows soon buddy.
DD'sMC Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Just in case those jealous fellas from that other forum should read your post on here, let me say this.... We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. The two best times to go fishing? When it is raining and when it is not.

DD'sMC Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Why Sir, what ever do you mean? (*said in my ever so southern drawl of pure innocence ) We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. The two best times to go fishing? When it is raining and when it is not.
laker67 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Ducky, Rumor has it that "you"caught that 31 inch fish. Really nice fish! Any truth to that rumor? You picked the right summer to go to Alaska. All you have missed is high water day & night. Stay safe Duane.

Rick, Yes, I have caught a 31 incher this year, and a 32 incher, and 3 at 30 inches, and too many to count around 27 to 29 inches. Its just getting started up here with the pig bows.
