June 13th - A cold, windy, rainy with hail fishing day!

It was a cold day today and the fishing was pretty slow for our first guests. Axman was up to the task though and spent a full day out there battling the elements!!

All the guides went out fishing today as well, new group of guests arrive tomorrow and pretty much everyone will be fishing from now through the middle of July!

Trolling for salmon today was pretty much the norm for everyone, with only a couple of undersized shakers released...and of course a couple rock fish which managed to track our baits down.

Most boats pounded the bottom during the tide change and only Axman's guests managed to pull one out of the deep. A real nice 27 pounder.



The Williams party with their halibut!!

Some good news late in the day - Black Fly decided to go out and see if there were any Kings around and he had one on! (The same old story about the one that got away!!) And he assured us that he also had a couple other knockdowns! But nothing hanging on the bragging board, but hopefully this rain will bring the fish in and start them moving towards the rivers....

It was a cold, windy, rainy and beautiful day at Yes Bay Lodge in SE Alaska!!
