Updates from camp

There's no time to waste at camp.  We started off with a bit of a fishing bender, putting 4 days on the water away from camp.

We've got a bunch of new gear around camp.  Eleven new Beulah rods including my 13'8" 8wt Spey, 8 new mirage reels, 2 Waterworks reels, a dozen new (rubber soled) boots, and a number of lines.  (More on gear later)

We had a few trips on the Kasilof for Kings, and while the fishing was slow we brought a few to the boat, as well as a couple steelhead and dollies.

Ever spent the night in a yurt?

Kings All Around

A lot is happening, time is short and photos are few, but here's a little something tasty.

The King Salmon is  like no other fish.  It is king,and right now there are two places to be.

 35 lb'er from the honey

It's not always about the fish.  This cow and calf stayed put as we rowed past

Kings can be taken on the fly, though the most effective methods for catching them involve heavy gear, 30lb test mono, big plugs or eggs.  There's no subtlety in the way we fish for kings, or the way they fight.  

52", 75 lbs is too big to keep. DFischer.

More to come.
