Guests Arrive Alagnak River Fishing Report

This is the guests arrive Alagnak River fishing report, coming from Alaska’s Katmai Lodge on the Alagnak River.

I even got one, on a jig.

Fishing! The king salmon have continued trickling in. Staff members have gotten five or six jacks this week. I even got one, an almost 20″ fish (very small for a king) on a jig. John Turcot hooked a real one. It straightened his hook out.

We have only seen a few sockeyes, and no chum salmon yet. They are expected any day now. Where have I heard that before?

Carl got a beauty, but this is a file photo.

After adjusting our tactics we have had some good trout fishing this week. Carl caught a beauty yesterday, unhooked it, and dropped it before I could get a photo. So I used a photo of a more modest fish.

The church is in ruins.

Down river from us is the site of an abandoned native settlement. At the site are the ruins of a Russian Orthodox church. We visited the site and explored it.

This plant looks something like cotton.

Tammy arrived at the Alagnak Lodge, 20 miles downriver from us, Thursday night. She motored up the river and visited us Friday, a wonderful surprise. We have a central Florida posse here!

The season’s first guests arrived on Saturday. Ian and Elizabeth joined me for an afternoon of king salmon fishing. We got two rainbow trout, no salmon. The last hour or so was spent on a fly casting and fly fishing lesson, which will come in handy later in the week.

Dave the maintenance man is an important guy at Katmai Lodge.

And that is the guests arrive Alagnak River Fishing Report from Katmai Lodge!

Life is great and I love my work!

Life is short- Go Fishing!
