August 1st - Beautiful Day a little wind and tough fishing!

The clear blue sunny skies today shut the salmon fishing down a bit, this morning it was overcast and the forecast called for rain, so we canceled our beach picnic, then of course the sun came out this afternoon and it got warm and bright! Welcome to Alaska!

Anyway, the fishing for salmon was a little tough today with a very slow bite, if you stuck with it, you were rewarded with some decent fish, including a silver or two, some chum and some real bright pinks.

Bottom fishing was there, but on the small side, but available and always a chance for a big one!!

Only two boats fished today with more guests arriving this afternoon so more boats fishing tomorrow.

Here are the pictures of today's catch!!

Some fun and games with some sunglasses for the fish!!

So with no picnic, what happened around the Lodge, the crew headed to the beach and fun was had by all!! Yes it was warm enough for some to go for a swim and a little tubing!!











All in all it was a pretty good day at Yes Bay Lodge in SE Alaska!!
