Notes
Eric, Karl and I got our king salmon tags and headed to the Ninilchik to try to land a hatchery king. I hooked and landed 1 king on a dead-drifted leech while Karl and Eric had no luck. It was extremely tough fishing.
While at a nice hole, a couple younger guys climbed down to where I was, but on the opposite bank. I was changing flies and one of them actually started fishing right in front of me. There was plenty of water upstream and downstream of me. I don't get it.
