Fishing was pretty slow for rainbows in the Sustina Valley too about a week ago when I made a trip up there from Anchorage.

In a section of stream where I always catch rainbows longer than 20 inches I didn't hook up with any. Humpies were digging redds and I also saw chum and kings in the water. Found several kings who had turned very red farther up stream but couldn't find any rainbows or grayling below them.

For once the stream levels are pretty good. But the cold spring has really messed up the timing on the runs.

I may have to make another trip soon in search of coho to eat and rainbows for sport.
