ANGLER: fishonBruceAK
TRIP DATE: 6/1
REGION: Anchorage
WATER: Ship Creek
SPECIES: Kings Yet To Arrive
REPORT: To quote the phrase from Dances with Wolves 'There ain't nothin' there Lieutenant'. Well not totally true. I counted about 70 or so anglers on the very lower reaches of Ship Creek. Floating eggs, eggs on the bottom, tossing pixies, even a fly or two and all I saw for it was one Jack King landed by some guy fifty yards downstream. Granted I only fished the hour or so of high tide on Sunday night, but the word of the day was, they aren't here yet. Despite the non-abundance of fish, it was a great night to be out on the water. A cool breeze off the inlet, folks laughing and joking about the no luck of the night, an underlying anticipation of what we know is to come sooner or later. I brought a friend with me for his very first trip to the Ship. Yeah, he was less than impressed by the lack of action, but the comaraderie of shared fish-less-ness and a relaxing time well spent on the banks of Ship, leads me to believe this won't be his last trip to our urban jewel. It won't be my last either.
