Day Six in Sitka Sees Silvers go on the Bite


Our last day of the Sitka trip has ended with a very good afternoon of Silver Salmon fishing in the sound. Mac had a honey hole in an inner passage which turned out to be a perfect close for a trip that saw a variety of species caught with a lot of effort on the anglers side. We took the Point Break up the inner passage to an inlet and the Silver fishing was phenomenal on spinners for fish up to 12 lbs, with eight fish caught, and at least that many hooked and dumped.

We saw a lot of pinks and had to wade through the humps to get at the silvers but the aerial antics of these fish is nothing less than awesome with us hooting at each others fish as they erratically fight to the finish. Theresa, Mac, and I didn't even leave the lodge until noon and within in an hour ride had a total blast.

For those of you who have not been to Alaska the variety of fish is great but the atmosphere of where you catch them is breath taking.

This has been a great trip for myself, Rich, and Theresa and if you are looking for a trip to really see the outdoors, Alaska is the place and Frontier Lodge definitely has the accomendations.

If you want to bring your family, friends, or maybe have a business retreat, they have the facility to meet your needs.

Well until the next trip, this is Ben signing out and I hope your fishing time is spent with tight lines and many fish caught.


All my best.


Ben
