Silver Salmon Fishing in Alaska
Wildman Lake Lodge
on the remote Alaska Peninsula . . .

The week of August 17 to 24, 2008

  SILVER STRIKE AT WILDMAN LAKE LODGE

Fishing Report:  Big time pink salmon run this year.  Chum and Pinks as well as spawning sockeye are still in the system as the Silver Salmon arrive.  We ended this week with a FULL FREEZER of Silver Salmon fillets.  Some of our days exceeded 170 silvers landed by our fly and spin fishermen.  The highlight was top water popper fishing for dime bright silvers.  Dennis and Pepe continued to lead the ptarmigan hunts for the second week.  Char and Rainbow fishing was a good diversion from the Pink and Silver fishing on our home river.  Fly outs produced BIG Silver catches daily.
