Humptulips & Satsop Salmon

We fished the , Humptulips and Satsop  October 19^th & 20th.
The  water conditions were very low and clear on both rivers.  The overall fishing was slow, but we had great weather conditions for spending a weekend on the rivers.The early mornings were cool but it warmed up nicely in the after noons.   
We floated the hatchery drift on the hump on Saturday. The river was at 350cfs  we had to drag the boat in a few spots but the overall drift was not too bad.
There were a good number of  dark  silvers holding in the deeper holes but it was very difficult to get them to hit.We kept after them and ended up catching a decent number of fish and even found a few keepers but the overall  fishing was on the slow side.

On Sunday we floated the Satsop. There did not seem to be many fish in the upper areas but the numbers seemed to improve as we moved down river.
We ended up hooking a fair number of fish and even managed to catch a few bright ones but the overall fishing was  slow. We had our best results this weekend twitching river bend jigs, fishing bobbers and eggs, and throwing spinners. A blast of rain would help fishing conditions a bunch but it does not look like there is much rain in site.

 

 

Humptulips Salmon

Cory B and I fished the Humptulips  Saturday and Sunday October 12 & 13^TH
The water was low & clear and running at  500cfs. The overall fishing was on the slow side, but we managed to catch silvers and kings both days. On Saturday we  floated the hatchery drift.  There were a fair number  of dark silvers and kings holding in the deeper holes but they were a bit on the skittish side. We fished hard and managed to hook a good number of fish and even found a few bright ones but I would still call the overall fishing slow.
On Sunday we fished the lower river in hopes of  finding brighter fish. The fishing on the lower river was very slow. There were a bunch of boats and not many fish caught. There did not seem to be many fish in this section of the river. We only hooked four fish on Sunday but all four were ocean bright. We had our best results this weekend fishing eggs and bobbers and twitching river bend jigs.
I would expect the fishing to continue to be slow till we get another blast of rain.

 

 

PEI GIANT BLUE FIN TUNA!!!!

I just got back from a trip to PEI with my dad Chuck and friend jeff N.
This was a trip of a life time!
We fished 6 days with spencer from Tightline tours.
We caught several blue fin tuna in the 700 to 1,000+ pound class.
It is amazing to see these fish feeding right beside the boat.
If this is not the best fishing in the world I would love to know where it’s better!
