Fishing has been consistent on the Kenai River, but I wouldn’t call it normal. It should be full on second run right now and instead we are seeing a mixture of everything: our first run of silvers is still here, our second run is coming in and there’s still sockeye in the system. The water […]
By: Bojangles For salmon anglers on the north shore of Lake Ontario the most anticipated time of the year is within sight. In fact, our fall run of Chinook and coho are staging at many river/creek mouths. Boats owners can easily target salmon from April until October in the depths of Lake Ontario, whereas shore […]
By: Alan Borges Unlike the last few seasons this year’s salmon on the Klamath River aren’t holding up in pools. They are moving through the system fast. We are catching fish with sea lice 15 miles upriver. If fact, I caught my first fish with any color on it today. I think the water is […]
By: Andy Couch Gary’s bobber disappeared under the water, so he set the hook, and a chrome silver salmon thrashed to the surface. He battled the fish for several minutes, then led it to the net, and our first fish of the day was on the boat. We had already fished 5 prime spots without […]
By: Troy Whitaker While there’s a lot of summer steelhead in the Rogue our fall Chinook season is already going gangbusters. These salmon started coming into the Grant’s Pass area in August and we’ll have more fish enter the system daily through October, even though they close salmon fishing in this area at the end […]
By: Troy Whitaker Using spawns sacks when fishing bait this summer and fall has become imperative on the Middle Rogue River. It’s not that spawn sacks work better than globs of roe, however. The reason why we are using spawn sacks on the Rogue is we have a bad population of squawfish that seem even […]
By: Andy Bliss Typically this time of year we are going out on Lake Ontario and catching boat loads of kings, but it’s been on and off. As Forest Gump would say it’s like a box of chocolates out there. You never know what you are going to get. That’s been the rule. Some trips […]
By: Pat Abel Things have been insane here at Buoy 10. Today we hooked more than 20 salmon, which has been the norm. There’s so many fish in this river it’s ridiculous. This place is way better than Alaska and anglers are coming in droves. They did an aerial survey the other day and found […]
By: Bruce Hewitt Fall upriver bright Chinook are headed to the Hanford Reach in a big way. Of more than 600,000 fall Chinook entering the Columbia River, far more than 200,000 are destined for the mid Columbia above McNary Dam. The Hanford Reach is expected to return 125,000 natural spawners in addition to big contributions […]
By: Kyle McClelland After a few very poor big lake trolling seasons it’s been close to a normal year on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. It might be a little below average if you account for the low numbers in June and early July, but now that August and September are here things have […]
