Last August, there were many fresh silvers moving upriver from the ocean. These silvers were bright chrome and some still had sea lice attached to their bodies. Thanks to these fresh fish, we had some fantastic meals and some stupendous fishing! When we ran into our first pod of fresh silvers, they were resting in a big eddy. I didn't have my Pollywog box with me at the time. I only had my mouse box and one garish frog pattern that I wanted to try with the rainbows. When we got on the silvers, I thought I would give this bright green deer-hair frog a try... even though there are no frogs on Alaska!
As you can see, our chagrinned guide lost my only frog and potentially our dinner at the same!
No problem, I put on a mouse and caught another silver minutes later.
