    I'm up in Sun Valley right now.

    Family trip with some fishing (whenever I can).

    Fished Silver Creek via float tube in the ponds for 3 mornings, decent Trico , Baetis hatch for 2 days, today was windy and so so.

    Nothing huge but browns and rainbows to hand up to 16".

    Have a few more shots before heading back to San Fran.

    Hi Bill,unfortunately in asking for trip reports you'll have to cop the good with the bad....like the two weeks I just spent on C.I.

    We were greeted by wind and rain on our early morning arrival from a Fiji midnight flight and it just got wilder from there, making it tough fishing all 'round for the first week, so only handfuls of fish each day.

    The weather improved the second week and we were confident of better fishing, given that the four days following the full moon (then down to the quarter moon Neap tides) offers the best Bonefishing due to the fact that the fish have emptied their eggs and are (presumably) feeding again. Some better fish to hand but again the fish remain spooky, so much so I'm convinced that angler fishing pressure is taking it's toll on the Kiritimati flats. I had one day with no fish and another with only a handful and Trigger fish were especially flighty. I do fish unguided though.

    Remember there's anything up to sixty fishermen from the five Lodges on the flats every day of the week (Ikari House, the Villages, Captain Cook, Sunset Horizon and Lagoon View...and for those interested the Shark Place aka Crystal Beach is closed and the Captain Cook's closure is imminent apparently).

    Lots of GT's around, especially with a rising tide in the afternoon, and recently a few witnessed the unforgettable sight of 200 GT's massacring bait fish on the Orvis Flat.

    This was my fourteenth fortnight on the island over a thirteen year period so I guess I'll have to "cop it sweet" as we say here, although I've never experienced that wild weather in the middle of the year.

    Cheers

    From 1986 I went there 13 times for a week with groups through my fly shop and never had that wild of weather.

    We did have rainy years where the island roads were flooded.

    Also we did have droughts where the palm trees caught on fire.

    Mostly it was all at the Captain Cook Hotel.


    I guess you have had some really good days there for Bones and for GTs?


    It is still on my recommended bucket list.


    Thanks for the complete report........

    Aloha Bill,

    Hawaii has been slow offshore. The Ahi spawned early, full moon in July instead of August. There are marlin around and the mahi have shown up. They are feeding on the small ahi around the fads. Some ono are still hitting on the troll.

    Inshore is good now. Bonefish remain a constant, feeding best on an incoming tide. Trevally are in close now feeding on small goat fish, Oama.

    The weather has been warm for August, low 90's, and hopefully the ocean will cool down and avoid a coral bleaching of the reefs.

    Sorry to hear about CI, it is getting tough there, the fish are finicky and only eat small 06, 08 flies.

    Mems.

    Report from Newfoundland

    As hard as it is to believe the count for Harry’s is slightly above last years !! I was out to Burke’s twice in the past week. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it, never so low in all my years. First trip I landed a grilse, my novice angling buddy a 15 lb fish, both were hookbills. Last night he hooked another but lost it, I only rose one fish. No action at all until the last 45 minutes of daylight. I actually saw a few slide over the shoal with their backs breaking water to enter the pool as darkness approached ..... there actually is life in the little brook that during the day appears so dead !!

    Fishing is always good, the catching may not be.
