Camp: SAFARI The Fishing: Fresh chum salmon and pink salmon still showing up in big numbers! (Seeing fresh pinks in mid September is just crazy compared to historical averages). The silver run is light and/or very late this year. We did find good …

Camp: SAFARI The Fishing: Continued strong chum salmon, pink salmon and dolly varden fishing. First silver salmon caught 8/20 this season; momentum of silver run seems slow to build. Halibut fishing in the bay is very good. No cod caught lately (which is OK – …
