September 6th - Fantastic Day

Today was one of those special days for many of the guests...the fishing for salmon was slow all day, but the weather was spectacular, then the afternoon highlight was to be surrounded by well over 60 killer whales...we'll see about posting some photos tomorrow.


Anyway, here are the pictures of today's catch..still some nice silvers hit the dock!

September 5th - Rainy Day - Fishing Slows!

Today was another day of rain and lots of it...thankfully the wind stayed down so it was pretty pleasant out, but wet!

The salmon bite was slow, very slow at times, but also somewhat steady, with occasional bites of very nice and big silver salmon. Those who stuck with it were rewarded with a very decent catch of sizable fish in the 10 plus pound range, up 14 pounds!

Here are the pictures from today's catch!















Still great fishing going on at Yes Bay Lodge in SE Alaska!!

September 4th - Better weather and more silvers!

The silver bite was not fast and furious this morning, but it was relatively steady, rewarding those who persevered with some very nice large fish!

Not much bottom fishing today, morning silvers, afternoon trying for some feeder Kings and there were a couple brought in.

Here are pictures from today's catch!

Crew fish - Art Hack with a nice 60 plus pound halibut!



And on with the guests photos!
