August 11 - 18, 2004 "Looking for Silvers"

Grif, a Wire Haired Pointing Griffon is helping us look for early arriving Silver Salmon at Wildman Lake Lodge.

Father Son, Team up on Silvers.

Early arrivers, August 12th, Mack and Drew Bentley of Houston, TX.tie in to a few bright Silver Salmon on their first fly-out day.

More Father Son Sivers on August 12th

Christian and Joe Austin of Redmond, WA also caught a few silvers during the early season at Wildman Lake Lodge.

Nice catch for early August on the Alaska Peninsula.

August 11 - 18 is normally considered a peak week for Pink salmon, Arctc Char, Dolly Varden and Rainbow. We were lucky this year in having a early run of Silvers too.

This is a peak week of local fishing for Char.

Jeff lands a pretty Char for Louis Neely of Sacramento, CA as "Griff" looks is getting a lesson in catching fish.

The Pink Salmon fishing is Outstanding.

Carol Hong of Honolulu, HI is having a blast catching bright shiney Pink Salmon on this Bering Sea coastal river, just minutes from Wildman.

More nice Dolly Varden on Ocean River

Jack Greenhalgh of southern California uses a 6 wt. flyrod on the local Dollies and Arctic Char in the clear artesian waters of Ocean River.

Rainbow range up to 28 inches at Wildman

Mack Bentley of Houston shows us a nice Wildman Rainbow caught on a dry fly in Wildman Creek.

Here's a bright Pink Salmon on a fly rod!

Pinks are real scrappy on a light fly rod. Very aggesive and plenty of them still with sea lice from just leaving the Bering Sea and entering our nearby rivers.

Another nice August Silver Salmon

Stoney lands another bright Silver Salmon for Christian Austin of Redmond, WA. on a fly-out day at Wildman.

Brightly Colored Arctic Char for Mack!

Mack Bentley shows off the colors of the Arctic Char in its spawing phase. A real fighter on a 6 wt. fly rod.

Dry Fly fishing for Rainbow on Wildman Cr.

Drew Bentley caught and released a bunch of nice rainbow while fishing Wildman Creek with his Dad and our guide Frank.

This looks just like a LUNCH FISH!

Taking a break from catching Salmon to eat one!

Shore lunch right on the bank of the river is another great way to enjoy Alaska Salmon, grilled!

There's a big male Pink Salmon on a fly!

Jack Greenhalgh of El Dorado, CA landed bright pinks all day long on this secluded stream running into the Bering Sea. Just Jack and the bears.

Jack, fishing with the bear!

While Jack battles a Pink Salmon, an Alaska Brown Bear crosses the river up stream.

Fishing for Silver and Pink Salmon at our Ilnik Camp.

Silvers are just arriving this week at our Ilnik Camp on the lower part of our local river. We will be fishing Silvers from this camp through the first part of October.
