Week 4 :: July 9 – 16, 2021

Mission Lodge
July 27, 2021

The sunshine arrived…..After weeks of fog, rain and wind we’ve had seven straight days of 65-75 degrees and sun.  High water has retreated on the Togiak and the King fishing has gotten good.  The sockeye run may pass the all time record for Bristol Bay so the swinging for reds continues to produce on the Wak.  Chums and…

Make some room in the Freezer!!  The sockeye are coming home.

Bad weather brought the fish.  The Nush was on fire for most of the week.  Lots of kings and sockeye made their way up river and rods were bent all day long.  The sockeye also pumped up the Wood river and the Wak fishing was primo.  After a long morning fog delay the sun came out and the Wak…

Well is started pretty rough…the king fishing on the Nush was extremely slow.  The first few days out there were filled with yawns.  We did have some great lake hops and some big rainbows were caught on the Igushik.  Toigiak fishing was better but still not quite there.  Then came the storm that we needed, high winds and some…
