First, sorry about the pictures being screwed up, it was late but they are fixed. Phil is the guy I was telling you about who also knows Mauro. Small world.

We were below the Mamquam, about 2 miles from the Salt. A lot of plunkers around but we out fished them 2-3 to one.

Phil went back Friday but the river had come up about 4 feet he said. He went upstream and had another Bonanza day. Pouring down rain so no one else around.

Are you still working in up there? Nice weather for Outdoor Action Scenes eh?

Phil uses an old Hardy on a 15 foot Spey rod. A good way to get your knuckles dusted for sure. His rod is a 10-11 and has a lot of backbone for handling these fish. He has caught some big Kings on it.



My rod is a 8-9 Fenwick Graphite. I have a Browning 'Waterford', They were made in Sweden and are not available anymore but it has a killer disc drag that will stop down anything under 20 lbs. The fish I broke off were way to big for me. I was using 24# leader to the fly from leadcore leader. Those big bucks just took off down the river, jumping every 20 feet until they were gone.

Great fun. I can't wait for the Steelhead to come in this winter. It is supposed to be a banner year.
