Outpost Update ~ July 5-9 "jackpot"

July 6, 2012

I've told OP guests that when its good at the Outpost it's the best fishing in the world...nobody believes me until it happens.

Our guests had amazing fishing this week, good weather and great conditions...in short they hit the Jackpot and experienced fishing like it must have been at the turn of the century.

Here's a rundown of the trip (in photos of course)...most mornings started like this...

Alessandro, Mark and Tony ready to run to the fishing grounds...

followed by this...

Double headers...as many as you wanted...all day. Above, Robin and David into a set of Chinooks.

Ken, Dilip and guide Sam enjoy the sun and fantastic fishing...

Ken, Bruce and Dennis getting trained up on a double...

Don't palm that reel too much Dennis!

Chef Hawksworth "can't handle the truth"...

Tony, Alessandro and "Oscar Yankee" (Ol'Yeller aka Chris) stick and stay and make it pay...

The result...

Big Halis caught and released.

As well as big Chinook releases, Gordie waits to release this borderline Tyee...

There were whale shows...

lots of fish love...

Dilip expereinces his first salmon close encounter.

The biggest of the trip was Ken's 38 pound Tyee with guide Chris...

Which earned him at Tyee pin and a busted knuckle...

Don't worry ken it will heal.

Back at the dock everyone was ecstatic...

Bruce, Shwan and Gordie with big smiles.

Robin can't believe it...

...and has trouble helping Sam get the "fish to market"...

Ken & Eileen still fishing together after 40+ years of marriage...

A tyee for Tony...

The cleaning bench was busy...

Kelp bongs anyone?...

Which contributed to post lunch naps...

...by the fireplace and on the boats...

One afternoon there was an excursion out to an ancient first nations site by Tien...

Evenings at the lodge...

The guys came up for meet and greet...

Dewy, Peter, Chris and Mark.

KRUD was played...

...and Jordan passes on the green jacket to the first guest winner of the season...

Congrats Shwan!

The "last family style supper" was served tonight...

...and there you have it.

Truly a jackpot week...its not like this all the time but when it is its HARD to beat.
