Doc, Did Ed eat his oatmeal today? Tell them hi for me, and make sure you get Rick to take you trout fishing. Rick Sissler knows the ins and outs of the K tok critters, have him take you for a day in Jurassic Park. Let him know that I sent you, it will all be good smile Make sure you tip the camp hands big bucks smile Most of all the Turd Rustler, it is a long way to the dump and will leave a lasting impression on the hardest of individuals.

Matt

Day 2.... three for three on kings. 23# girl went back to make babies, and two high teens bucks hit the box. Got reprimanded for filleting my own kings ala eyeFISH .... apparently no chunks allowed.

One for one on a dinker pink.... can you imagine a river pink in June? Blimey!

Opher one on another platinum chum that came unbuttoned as I was sliding him up the gravel.

BTW loaned out my eyeFISH 2009 Copper Kwik to one of the guides last night. Went 5 for 6 in a couple hours with that swimmer! And naked at that! (No bait allowed).

Gonna have to borrow a lighter faster camp rod tomorrow because the casting shoulder is on its way out. Pass the Advil, please!

Yeah, all them Ornamentals look alike, ya know.

Sorry about the late post, but got distracted by the good lookin' gals at the riverside bonfire with all the camp hands. Managed to get liquored up pretty good without getting hungover.

No kings for the good Doc yesterday, but caught platinum chums til my elbow ached. Partner and I put 10 in the box for the camp smoker. Caught one bruiser sockeye.

Forecast today is hot and sunny... in other word half-nekkid by hi-noon. If the nasty kings retreat from the light into the deep slot across the fly bar, I revert to the dark side armed with WMD's.

Tammy Fae and BabyGotBack haven't had their inaugural swim for the season. I'm countin' on those sickle siwash to deliver.... else Ripley gets an earful when I get back.

Later!

13 for 14 on C-H-R-O-M-E piggies today. Caught kings every which way my guide Blake McHenry and I tried.... swinging flies on the double hander thru moving tide fish, twitching weighted flies under an indicator thru frogwater (think like gear guys twitching jigs), stripping leeches thru holding fish in a deep run, and of course.... backtrolling Kwiks and Mag Warts thru the tidewater travel lanes. The Ripley sickles went 5 for 6 today.... would've remained 100% if I didn't totally lose contact with a HOT HOT HOT platinum torpedo three separate times during the battle. Finally threw the hook when he came up for a somersault! As Parker would say, that fish ripped me a new one!

Another dozen or so chums on the single and double hander.

One nice rainbow on the double-handed swung fly.

A double on hooligan backtrolling Tammy Fae.

Shoulder got a nice break while reverting to the Dark Side.

More of the same tomorrow with same guide... but this time Sage Prostaffer George Cook is comin' along for the ride.

Funny to hear about you actually landing the fish yourself Doc. You usually spend your time getting fish for everyone else. Don't forget to relax and just enjoy the crap out of it. Nice to see in the vid that you finally shaved.
Good job Parker. I hope while you had Doc's computer you loaded up his Grays Harbor schedule with our names.

Fishing with Speymaster Cook was a blast today, but gotta admit that FOD (fish of the day in AK West vernacular) came to BabyGotBack 2 equipped with the 5/0 sickle. OMFG! that hook was 100%.... 3 for three on a brand new swimmer!

BTW the other hot plug (eyeFISH 2009 ifish.net Kwik) has been re-named named Dirty Copper (as in the famous movie line "You dirty copper!") has gone an astounding 11 for 12 on a SINGLE 3/0 sickle. Music to thine ears Ripley-san?

Last day of fishing for fNp was less than stellar ..... did manage to get a nice tan, though.

Handful of chums and a snagged sockeye.... no kings.

Will have to wait for the Kenai this weekend to get my final fix. Time to put them sickles back to work.

When can we expect the inevitable great photo essay Francis?

Sounds like a week well spent. Gotta second the need for some pics of campfire life too. Throw in a few fish photos if you want also.

Photo essay starts after I get a chance to get caught up at the office next week.

Friday was recovery day for me. Flew back to ANC to unload fish on my bro and his family. Gotta admit the smoked chum AK West put up for me was pretty damned good. Treated the whole crew to Japanese/sushi dinner. Then it was off to the local park to burn off some energy for the little ones. My little nephew is gonna be a salmon slaying machine next summer.

Picnic lunch with the fam for the 4th today, then it's off to the Kenai to catch up with Yukon and crew. Yeah baby, time to put BabyGotBack and Tammy Fae back to work on yukon's play boat Sunday morn.

Just made it home an hour ago. Running on fumes.

6 for 13 on the Kenai today (or is that officially y'day?). Big fish was a 55# tide-fesh 50 x 28.5 platinum buck.

Back to the Kanektok....

Just a couple of appetizers from the Kanektok. My very first Spey king!
