With the start of a new angling season my posts will be more on a weekly basis with fishing reports and hopefully some images from each group’s trip. It looks to be a good year with normal water levels and average temperatures and weather. The sockeye salmon run in the Bristol Bay region is just starting to trickle in and the run estimate looks for a good year. This should in turn provide an ample food source for the overwintering trout and char this coming winter. More to come…………….

Arctic Char
The painting above is of a Bristol Bay Arctic char’s brilliant fall spawning color by artist Becca Schlaff. The painting was based on a photo I took a few seasons ago of one of our angler’s trophies. In lieu of taxidermy many anglers are now preserving their piscatorial memories on canvas. Becca will commission original paintings in a variety of paint mediums to preserve that memory for generations to come. Check out more of her work at becca-schlaff.com
