I spoke to an angler today who was into a couple Ho's on a recent trip to the Check. For what it's worth, He took them on the fly.

Went yesterday - water is now low and clear, lots of mouldy springs around. Pinks are pretty much gone. No coho action from myself or anyone I saw.

In regard to bears, keep your wits about you as there are more than a few grizzlies wandering around right now. I have a very good friend who is doing lots of grizzly DNA work in the valley and he has cameras set up in a few locations and is getting lots of pictures of g. bears. He found a kill site on one of the rivers ( not saying which river as I don't want some dick head to go up there and mistaking shoot a grizzly thinking it's a black bear) where a grizzly has killed a large black bear and consumed it. Same thing happened earlier this month with several grizzlies consuming a dead moose in the Elaho. You never know what's around so pay attention.

Who'd your friend working with?  Curious.  Must be fascinating work.

He works with what used to be called the Ministry of the Environment. Who the hell knows what they are called today as the Liberals keep changing their name.

That would be the Ministry of Earth, Wind and Fire.  Not to be confused with the Ministry of Imagifacts, responsible for mining and other natural resource extraction.

If anyone is into this sort of thing, I've been having some decent days with egg patterns and trout in the Squamish watershed.  If you're up for the trek further north, the Birkenhead area is great for this as well right now.  I usually reserve this stuff for December and later, but it always produces early in pink years.
