Top Spoons for Alaska Silvers

During my recent trip to Pumice Creek Lodge on the Alaska Peninsula, we had excellent results using pixee spoons and moonshine casting spoons.  The pixee spoon is a heavy 7/8oz which gets deep in the fastest rivers.  They are available in several finishes, nickel, gold, painted, and metallic.  Their hammered finish facets reflect more light increasing the spoons flash.  They have a fluorescent plastic egg imitation insert embedded in the middle of the spoon.
During our stay we used the metallic hot pink/ fluorescent red insert and the metallic red/ fluorescent orange insert.  We replaced the hooks with 5/0 openeye Siwash single hooks from Gamakatsu.
We also had excellent results using Moonshine casting spoons in the 3/4oz size.  The hot color was Glow Bloody Nose.  These spoons have a super glow coating which is perfect for low light conditions.  The moonshine spoon has more of a side to side wobble when compared to the pixee spoon.

Non-Stop Coho Action at Pumice Creek Lodge

Had the opportunity to fish for coho salmon and arctic char out of Pumice Creek Lodge, Alaska during September 8 to 15.  Pumice Creek Lodge is located about 100 miles south of King Salmon on the Alaska Peninsula.  This was my 28th straight year fishing silvers on the Alaska Peninsula.  The fishing was insane.  Huge silvers were landed cast after cast.  I landed a total of 576 silvers for fishing 4 1/2 days--delayed 1 day due to fog!  Fished for arctic char 1 day and landed a total of 102 many of which were in their beautiful spawning colors.  The weather was something I have never seen in this part of the world.

Hot sunny days without the wind howling was the norm each day during my stay.  The temperatures rose to the upper 70s!  I saw an abundance of wildlife including brown bears, moose, caribou, eagles, fox, etc...  I have written about the fantastic fishing here in the past and cannot believe one could catch more salmon elsewhere.  My group was the only fisherman to fish for silvers on the Cinder River all year! Next season perhaps is the last year the lodge will be open for sportfishing, so I cannot recommend it enough.  Get in now while there perhaps are a few openings!  You will experienced the fishing adventure of your dreams!
