Kings, Sockeye and Chums

With almost a week of bright sunny days and no rain the river is sparkling clear allowing for great visability. We fished from the boat yesterday while anchored a short distance from a jumping school of kings. As we fished you could see the backs of migrating salmon shooting past underneath the boat. We caught 6 kings before lunch and after lunchtime and a little break we went out for the evening and landed 5 more. Still lots of chums and sockeye pooling up in the slower water in several locations close by the lodge. With the warmer water temps and clear water I am itching to get back in several big sloughs and try our hand at pike fishing but its hard to convince anyone to fish for pike while salmon are filling the main river.
