Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 7, 2013 Root Admin Posted July 7, 2013 Had a great week last week. Weather was cold and wet most of the time but Friday the sun popped out and it was beautiful. Four days of sockeye fishing and limits all 4 days for us. That's 15 salmon per day and the average size increased from week one. Landed some brutes at about 10 pounds each. My friends weren't interested in rainbows so nothing to report there. They did get 2 kings at 25 pounds each. We flew to the Ugashik Narrows yesterday, about 65 miles south of here. Usually catch lots of big dollies and grayling there on dries but didn't seem to be as many fish there this trip. We only caught about 8 fish each. Biggest graying was 20 inches and dolly, 26 inches. The mountains surrounding this area are gorgeous - partially snow covered and the sun brought out their grandur. A couple flew to a new location yesterday am - a small stream we boat to and fish the lower part called Idavain. They flew to a small lake at the top to fish the upper creek, something our lodge had never done. But the guide got lost and they missed their pickup last evening. They spent the night in the tundra and walked out to the lake this morning. Quite a night... unfortunately the bears hadn't moved into that area yet so no real danger. The trails in this area all look the same. They didn't lose track of the river, just the small lake they were dropped at. Next week looks good. Sockeye are still coming in. We should do more rainbow fishing this week too. Home on Sunday next!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 14, 2013 Author Root Admin Posted July 14, 2013 Opps.... misspoke!! That's funny! Fortunately... I think I was more worried about spelling the word correctly than getting it right! They were a great couple! They wanted to do something new and exciting and got more than they bargained for. Although it was pretty tough, they did very well emotionally and physically and said they weren't sorry they'd done it. Not sure what he does but she's an attorney for the US Army or defense department. They live in Maine.
