The Wonder of the Run

They have arrived and the numbers will build over the next weeks. They are the Chinook, King salmon. In creeks and rivers here in the "Tip of the Mitt", the run is on and what a majestic thing to witness. Fly fishing for them is a great challenge. They are very aggressive at this time and will attack just the right fly or egg pattern, but will more likely take off as you enter the water. Getting one of these three or four foot Kings on is a whole other story as you are in for a fight.
This week has been a great time to be fly fishing and as we come to the end of the regular season on a lot of our rivers be sure to be out this weekend. Afternoon fishing is best in order to let the sun warm up the water a bit, but enjoy these beautiful days and temperatures. The Fall is a most unique time to be out in the treasures of this area.
