Just got in from the river ... the first part of tide continued the incredible push of reds that we've seen over the last 36 hours.

In ten years, I've never seen a push of reds like this in the Kasilof.

Unfortunately, because of this, it's also the first time I can remember them openeing the actual river mouth to an all-out fishery to try to intercept them. The stoppage of the flow was evident right at high tide. They had been flipping for hours non-stop and then all of sudden it was over.

Actually b ad news for your dad BC as they're now going to net non-stop as they have "too many" reds in the river and with no management plan in place for the kings, they will take as many reds as possible without any regard for the king impact.

Sadly the great king fishing we've had the last two days as the main ball of fish finally hit the river will end ... we were playing C&R today and we probably hooked somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 fish to about 35-38 pounds. I'll bet we do perhaps a quarter of that on tomorrow's tide.

I did try to shoot a little video late in the push, I'm going to download it on my machine to see if we have red flow shots that turned out ... if so, I'll try to upload some tonight ;\)
