The G-string was putting in work on the Chum and Humpies this week.

Seasoned Duncan guests, Paul and KC, along with guide, Jake, caught an eleven-pound Rainbow in the lower river on their last day in camp. Way to end it on a high note!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“If I had died and was given a choice to go to Heaven or Lower Base Camp, I would have taken LBC” – Steve Heinz

WILDLIFE SPOTTED:

Some bear, beaver, and mink have made frequent appearance along the river banks. In the air, we’ve seen an increased number of bald eagles, osprey, sandhill cranes, white- fronted geese, and various ducks.

COMMENTS FOR THE WEEK:

The Chum bite is beginning to slow as we shift into Silver season, which have been showing themselves more and more every day. Rainbows are still spread out but are being caught on everything from the mouse and bead to the Dali Lama and other streamer
patterns.
