Unlike the places I fish in Alaska, there are no feeding bears in the river systems here because of no salmon...but there were plenty of black bears, almost saw one every day...but to be honest, I was more concerned about the moose, which were also plentiful. I'll be fishing in the tundra of...

In these woods, there are always something looking back at you...

Last fish of the day…man, did that beer taste good afterwards. Get to rest a week to twist up some flies for a trip to the Aleutian’s…

The pike here are huge…the smallest at 36”, the largest at 44”. There are monsters here over 50” & 40 lbs…I put 17 into the net, my partner 13…and lost countless others

Saved the best for the last day…Triangle lake, which straddles the BC-Yukon border. In fact, I hooked a fish in the Yukon Territory, but landed him in British Columbia…

Drove to the Liard River for some more grayling action…the fish here were a bit bigger. Felt good to soak in the hot springs before going back to the cabin

Decided to take an easy day…no fly outs. Wild cranberries were everywhere…tart, but delicious. Fished the falls on Smith River for small grayling on the 4wt…and a couple small bull trout

Trout day…fishing Rainbow River. All of the trout were big…put 20 into the net, smallest at 18”, several in the 22”-24” range…and a couple bull trout as well. My partner brought his euro rig and cleaned up on tank whitefish

Pike fishing in Fish Lake…put 40 into the net between 30-36”…kept 4 in the 6-8 lb range for a delicious fish & chips dinner

Grayling were sizable…several on streamers, one of which was a solid 20”

Northern BC near the Yukon border…grayling, lake trout & bull trout. There were moose, caribou, black bear, stone sheep and mountain goats everywhere we flew

Muncho Lake, northern BC near the Yukon Border

Holy tomahawk Batman…
