Two grey whales — a mother and calf — swam up the Klamath River in Northern California in early July. The calf eventually headed back to sea, but the mom’s still hanging around. Read more HERE

September was an epic month for our Hawg of the Month Contest and October is getting kicked off in style with this super ‘slab king from Nor Cal’s Klamath River. Angler Steve Bernardi (right) fished with guide John Klar for this dandy. Of course, with Klar holding it, the fish looks like it’s about 70 pounds but it actually weighed 31, which is a really, really nice fish for that drainage.
So there you have it…the challenge has been issued right out of the gate. The October Hawg of the Month Contest…it’s definitely on! Show us what you’ve got!

I‘ve never subscribed to the notion that king salmon don’t eat when in freshwater. If pressed, I’d say that they’re programed by Mother Nature not to feed, but I think some simply just “fall off the wagon” from time to time. [click to continue…]

The year was 2002 and, from a fishing & guiding standpoint, things were generally looking up…
In the spring, I was rocking my new 20-foot Willie driftboat and couldn’t wait for fall salmon season to start!
But, before all that started, I was off to Alaska to work as a guide on the Nushagak River…
Loving the day-glow yellow!
The ‘Nush quickly ruined me for life…I mean, where else can you expect to boat 30-100 kings a day…every day??
Kings, kings everywhere!

This is the amazing spot where the incomparable Klamath River meets the Pacific ocean; The very spot where a zillion chrome bright, extremely aggressive king salmon squeeze through a tiny gap in the sand every fall. Postcard perfect…almost. [click to continue…]
