The 2011 summer season in Southeast Alaska was one for the ages. Since my last update in early July the king fishing stayed red hot and didn’t slow down until the last week of the season. Those lucky enough to make it up to Waterfall Resort this season were truly spoiled with 10+ king days common from June through August.
Wrangell Silvers are awesome!! There has been great fishing for almost a month now for us “hook and line” guys. My clients have had a great time trying to keep up with these Silver Bullets as they run, jump and run straight back to the outboards. Awesome!!

It’s almost August and the fishing is GREAT all over Washington State. The Ocean is kicking out fish … the Columbia river from the mouth all the way to Rufus Woods is giving up chromer fish … and the rivers, lakes and reservoirs are all hitting for bass, walleye, trout, steelhead and even panfish … basically it’s ON like Kong!

Well, the last day of the trip was just Kim and I fishing with John, our host. We ended up fishing a short day from 6 a.m. to noon, but got two really nice king’s in the 20 lb. range. It was almost a blessing in disguise after we headed to the fish processing and collected the rest of our bounty before heading home. The total catch was a whopping 185.3 pounds, just in fillets for the flight back! WOW…
Since the June 1st opener of the Snohomish River System life has been good to great for the local fisherman. The Skykomish River has been showing consistent results for summer-run steelhead and king salmon. These fish come in almost everyday on the bell curves due to the snow melt and rain. This means chrome-bright, sea liced, scrappy fish that fight like crazy every day!
