Brookies & Sockeye

[Aka]

With the cool down I  thought a good walk and some fishing would be in order so I hit the high line for a hike and some brooks.
Got on the water around 8:30 after a short 45min. hike and got picked up in the 1st pool on my second cast.

You never can judge a days fishing off how soon the first one is caught and as it turned out the rest of the fish I got were a lot harder to entice than the first. The water is cooling down for sure but absolutely gin clear. There were more than a few pools that I crept up on just to false cast and watch specs scatter and race under rocks and ledges for cover. heres the best colors of the day. Which came from the darkest, most over grown section I fished.

I hiked back out and beat it for home to find the box my best friend from growing up back home in Alaska had arrived. He works for fedex and does a bit of fishing too.

Glad you got the salmon, you would have starved if you had to eat brookies

Those brookies are good fish stick size...a dozen and you'll have a meal.

Ya, I was thinking about taking them down to the Davidson and rigging up some live baits, theres a few worth taking home from there

Good report.  I know you will enjoy those sockeye.  Chrome sockeye are one of the hardest fighting fish I have ever had on a flyrod.
