That is how it needs to be in the trout river I was fishing. Far too many minnows, not enough food for anything to get big and fat.

Hey Giles found this website on intstgram. It’s a Japanese company that makes and maybe sells some interesting lures. I don’t know if they sell the site is in Japanese. Are you familiar with them?

Oh wow, where's that?

[jordanscollected]

oh that looks just heavenly!

[Bfd70]

The Fly box is in Anchor point Alaska and the river there is running thru the town of Soldotna both approximately 75 miles outside of Homer Alaska.

[Giles]

Is that a fresh from the sea Sockeye?

[Bfd70]

Yessir. Pan cooked for dinner and smoked overnight for breakfast. Landed 3 (Limit) all around 10 pounds in about 4 hours. The water was enjoyably cold with a swift current.

[Giles]

I have never seen a Sockeye looking that fresh, many congrats….

[Bfd70]

Thanks. Hit the limit (3) in about 4.5 hours with a fly rod.

[Giles]

Well done Matty.  I had 3 smallish Bass this moring.  My mate had a beaut of about 4lbs….

[Matty123]

Thanks G. That’s a nice fish there. I can’t wait for you to get your kayak.

@Giles what's the action on that lure? I see no lip so it doesn't dive, it is a sinking erratic swimmer with an open mouth that leaves a trail of bubbles as you reel?

if you have a link to it i'd like to look into it.

A Patchinko - An absolute killer in our waters….

A bubbly walk-the-dog.....

I use a similar "walk the dog" lure called a Spook. It works best on calm water in the early morning and evening for bass, and in the middle of the day on choppy waters for Northern.

I'll add a Patchinko to my arsenal and see what i can catch
