Hi Everyone,

           We are catching some nice kings in 135 - 145 feet of water on Big Weenie flies, echips and Spin Doctors. We also have some prime time dates in Sept. If interested give me a call.  1-(570) 265-9501.  Keep the lines tight.

Just waiting for the kings to show up in some numbers. They have gone to parts unknown to most. On the other hand brown trout fishing has been great all but last Monday. It was the slowest day we've had in weeks. Look for the browns in 80 to 105 feet of water and fish them where you see them. Good luck fishing. Catch a lot.

Ok it's been some time from the last report but here is an update. Kings are in for the last week or so. We take kings in as little as 87 ft and out to 350 ft of water. Fish for them where you see them. A lot of kings are in the warm water 58 to 61 degrees. Browns, you can get them in water that is up to 68 degrees but look for them in about 61 degrees and that can be in as close as 55 ft of water. Check out the pictures from the last few days.

Ok the lake is starting to set up very slow and that is good. In the last 2 weeks we had some very good days and a few slow days.
The fish can be anywhere from 12 ft of water to 100 ft. Sunday we fished 50 to 60 ft down 25 to 40 ft for small small kings and browns. The planer board did no good for us so go out and cover some water until you see bait and some fish and stay with them.

 Capt Joe

 

5/17/2011

Ok it is May 17th and the browns are still coming to the boat. Some days are better then others but all in all still good fishing.
We are still on the shore line..6 to 20 feet of water. Lake temps cooled off some slowing the fishing down for a couple of days due to the east winds. You will have to look around for that 50 degree water so get the lines in the water and start fishing.   Good luck...Stay safe...and Have fun.

Great day on the lake. We started fishing at 6:15 AM . By 7 AM we had 9 Browns in the boat, by 7:30 AM we had 15 Browns and by 11 AM we were over 30 fish boated! Most went back into the lake.
We started fishing 100 ft in back of boat. By the time the  sun came out about 9 AM, we were back 150 ft. Everything took. Fish speed was 2.5 to 2.8 mph. Fished 8 to 17 ft of water. The next two days were about the same. Good fishing.. stay safe..

Ok the boat is in the water and the fish are hitting stick baits and spoons. Just fish the inlets and warm water. All the fish we got had gobbies in them...so keep your line tight and your tip up.

LAST FISHING REPORT FOR THE YEAR:

The only thing we have to report for September is the fishing was slow and tough. After Labor Day the fishing went poor due to all the warm water that filled the bay. This caused the Salmon to go up the river sooner this year. Most trips were cancelled and moved to next year by a lot of charter captains. Looking forward to good fishing next year. Have a good winter.

Salmon are showing up in some good numbers. Not quite as many as we would like but big fishing. We are catching bigger fish..30 - 33 lbs. Green is the best color. We are fishing in 110 to 200 feet of water. Fish are being caught in temperature and in colder waters. So fish them where you see them. Good fishing and keep the lines tight. Be safe.

Capt Joe

 

08/10/2010

Finally the kings are starting to show up, anywhere from 125 - 200 feet of water. There is not a lot yet but the ones that are here are big. 30 lbs or better. Big weenie mirage flies are working good behind a silver echip. The kings are also hitting the silver green magnum spoons. We are fishing anywhere from 120 - 150 feet down. So keep your rod tip up and hold on. Good fishing.

We took 3rd place last Saturday in the Little Salmon River Derby. We had all Brown Trout. We had 2 over 14 lbs. Great job Pete and gang for getting all your fish in the boat. The King salmon are still eluding us on the Eastern shore. They have yet to show up in any number. We have been fishing mostly Brown trout and have had some limit catches. Weight wise anywhere from smaller to 14 - 17 lbs being taken. The fishing is good as long as the wind doesn't blow the day before your trip. We are fishing 100 - 110 feet of water. The salmon should show up any day...so get your rod in the water and fish.

Capt Joe

 

07/15/2010

Some salmon are being caught. About 150 feet is the best depth down about 125 feet. The butter face Big Weenie fly behind a Chartreuse attractor is good when the sun comes up. Brown trout has been real good with limit catches. In 75 to 110 feet of water down about 84 feet. Most fish are being taken on Magnum spoons. So put your favorite color on and fish.

Until next time...keep your lines tight and good fishing.

Capt Joe

06/08/2010

Well, did not have much to report the last few weeks. The fishing was off due to the lake rolling over. All we were getting were some lake trout but the lake is set up and the fish are starting to bite. Browns in 50 to 70 ft of water and lakers in 125 ft so get your lines in and start fishing.

Capt Joe

 

04/27/2010

Okay, no fishing for the last few days due to hard north winds but this weekend looks good. Last Thursday and Friday was good with a mix bag of fish..lakers, steelheads, and browns. We fished 20 to 30 feet of water down 10 ft , 16 ft , 21 ft. Saturday, Sunday and Monday fishing was only fair.

Till next time, have fun fish hard.

Okay, the browns are on the bite along with some Rainbow trout thanks to the northwest winds. Lots of bait in the water and the fish are feeding. Stay with small stuff like jr  thundersticks.

                                Good fishing and stay safe.

The boat is in the water and it smells like fish. We got some browns and Atlantic Salmon on Sunday. The fishing is on the slow side, you have to cover a lot of water to find a spot that is holding some fish. Use black and silver if the water is clear. The water temps are currently 40* to 48*.

Keep your line tight and keep  fishing.

The ice is out, the snow is all gone. A few small boats have been out catching some brown trout along the shoreline in 15 feet of water. The river is still very low so be careful. Our boat should be in the water by April 10. Looking forward to a great fishing season.

Salmon fishing has slowed down some. We are still catching some and expect them to move back in at any time.

Brown trout fishing is great. We are catching them in 90 to 110 feet of water. All colors are working. They seem to be hitting on a little bit of everything. So get out and do some fishing and spend time in the great outdoors.
