Trip Report July 22-26, 2015

 

Wow! The time is flying by this year as we get closer to Hogust. You know it’s almost the end of July when the Page groups arrive. The lodge’s atmosphere was very familiar this past trip as the Montgomery’s, Muirs and Belzbergs returned yet again for their fishing adventure of the year with us.
 

We welcomed newcomers Erin and Jose from California. Erin was a dynamo on the rod, landing herself a 38-pound Tyee and a 70-pound Halibut. Some say it is beginners luck, but I say it was her enthusiastic spirit of loving all good things in life, and the exceptional fishing here is to be included in her mantra. Jose also landed himself a Tyee, as he was not to be outdone by this little superstar.
 

Sean and Duncan Muir tagged 3 Tyees on their license, but the highlight of the trip was playing a monster over 60 on the last day. Craig has much to be proud of with his sons, especially their ability to call a piggy to the boat….SU…EY!!
 

Klashwein has been on fire for the past week. The downriggers have been the key to successfully hooking up in an area that runs fast with water. With the wind coming out of the south for a few days, smoother waters were enjoyed as we rounded the corner.
 

Those that are hippie fishing, the weighted rods are keeping the guests busy at either Naden or Parker point.
 

I was pleased to have a few gals here for this past trip. I know I had a blast on the water with them. They seemed to light up the lodge and enjoyed the amazing angling and habitat on the fishing grounds. A few disappointments for them were talked about in the evenings …… and I always stop to ponder”Why the biggest one of their day is always the one that got away”. Nevertheless, they left with full boxes and a few extra pounds because like me, it is hard to say  “No ! ”to the donuts Mansour keeps baking and the incredible cuisine by Reto.
 

The halibut grounds are robust with guests releasing the over 100 pound mark and taking home the 60-70 pound keepers. A total of 14 Tyees between 30 pounds and 46 pounds were either landed or released this trip and our congratulations are extended yet again as they return home with fishtails and fish tales.
 

We encourage all our guests to book early for their 2016 fishing adventures as the spots available are filling up fast already.
 

Until next time,
