I remember a day around 2008/2009 that a group of us trolling literally caught and released over 100 fish. Even after living in AK for over ten years I’ve still gotten my biggest trout out of Rufus.

Post by: plugger on March 11, 2025, 05:32:33 AM: That would work just fine but you will need to launch at the res campground if you plan on fishing around the pens. Ramps are far apart and bucking current back to seatons would take you hours .

Post by: Rodney107 on March 12, 2025, 02:33:28 PM: That's what I was thinking. Somewhere easy to get away from the bank guys

Post by: finnman on March 30, 2025, 03:26:21 PM: We fished it yesterday from the Rez ramp/campground.
We caught 14 walleye, released one 9 pound hen, and we landed about 55 trout. The trout were caught all within one hour.
5 poles. We fished 7 hours on the water. Saw 3 herds of Muleys. The weather was great!!
