The Kalama is HOT!!!!
The river really turned on today. Yesterday it was blown out. The water today was dropping and green.
My wife and I landed 11 silvers this afternoon. She got 6 of them throwing a custom colored cerise Wiggle Wart. I got 3 on the wart and 2 drift fishing eggs. And yes the wife outfished me. She hooked a total of 9, I just hooked 6.
I saw at least 40 silvers caught today. My brother-in-law and his friend hit the canyon and got 10 between the 2 of them. I saw one silver caught that wieghed a solid 20 lbs.
On tuesday I took a couple guys down the river when it was blown. One guy, Dan is from Alabama and had never caught a salmon. He and his brother and I jumped in my driftboat. Even though the water was murky and on the rise we hooked 3. Dan was the only guy to land one, A nice buck silver of about 7 lbs. This was his first salmon.
Today he and his brother were back at. The got a dozen between them. Dan got one that was over 15 lbs. Not too bad for a bama redneck.
