We went out of Deep Creek on Monday for some Halibut fishing. The seas were pretty rough, but we still managed to limit out. Tuesday we tried our hand at King Salmon and unfortunately struck out. From what we hear, the Kings just are not running like they used to and the game and fish department is at a loss as to what is going on. We did meet a very nice couple from Texas that were in the same boat as we were.
On Wednesday we had our float plane fly out to Wolverine Creek. We went sockeye fishing and did some bear viewing while we were there. The plane ride was spectacular, and the fishing was a BLAST. Sockeye salmon are a fighting machine when they get hooked. They FLY through the air...and I mean FLY. It was so much fun, it is on our must do again list. We tried our hand at Kings again today, and I did hook up with one, but it got off as I was bringing it in to the boat. The action was fast a furious there for a while.
Tomorrow is our last halibut trip, and we might try to sneak in some sockeye fishing on Saturday. Our guide told us to call him and he would see if he could squeeze us in.
I am posting some pictures from our trip so far.
The black bear had two cubs, but I just couldn't get a good picture of them. The brown bear had three and you can see at least two if you look at the picture really close. Bob and I are holding a couple of the sockeye that we caught, and that is a picture of the float plane that we flew on.
