Wrangell Alaska Fish Report & Derby News

[jyeager68]

It’s week 3 of the Wrangell King Salmon Derby. Top fish is 40.6 pounds and the rest of the ladder is over 30 pounds. The fishing seems to be scattered around the Wrangell area with the only consistency being a very early morning bite. We have a lot of feed in the area which I think is adding to the long hours needed to land that ladder King. I have been mixing it up a little by using spoons, Ace Hi fly’s and my regular herring rig. I think with so much feed in the area, it can pay off to throw out something different. No change in the derby ladder in over 2 weeks, but I am really working to try and get one of my clients on the ladder! I am out again tomorrow with clients, hopefully my 4 am departure with put us on some fish first thing! I’ll keep you posted.

Hey Eddie,
No secrets here and I didn't invent it, Kelly Morrison of Silver Horde came up with this one!

You might know about this under the name "Spoon-hoochie" or "hoochie hook" but "Spoochie" just fits it!

Here is the blog describing how to make em: http://blog.theoutdoorline.com/post/201 ... Hook!.aspx
