Thanks to Laurie, Khrissy and Joe for their help in the shop, Bruce for his fantastic season guiding and "The Boys" Luke, Carlos, Jane, Ryan, Kieran, Brandon, Chris, JP, and Kage for their support and setting examples of proper etiquette on the river for others to learn from.

only improve. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't forget we can fish on
Wednesdays this year.

with the run, many Kings have gone past the weir.

Steelhead and Dolly's. Upper river will hold some nice size Steelhead,
