Spent yesterday riding bikes in the Chilcotin range in BC. Decided to spend today fishing on the way back to whistler. I found some pretty vague info about the Bridge River and it was right on the way so decided to give it a try. Holy shit, I'm not sure if these fish had ever seen a fly before. They went after everything I put in the water: dry flies, nymphs, streamers. They didn't care and they didn't seem to get spooked at all either. Didn't see a single other person all day. I did keep looking over my shoulder for grizzlies though. I think I caught somewhere around 15 fish. Unfortunately didn't have the cell phone handy for the biggest one of the day, this guy took 2nd.
Had a good outing last weekend in waters 5-10 min from my house.
Some randoms from that creek that inspired my 2/3 weight thread.
Lots of crossings required. Note the landscape is conducive to throwing down a tent or air pad.
A fishy little stretch
Campsite. Big Agnes Q-core FTW. Buddy on the Z-rest didn't sleep well.
Not a bad view to wake up to
Lots of these guys

Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.
Love the combo fish + doggie stoke!

Yeah that blacktip got the chop, it was bleeding from the gills and looked liked it had hammerhead teeth marks. 99.9% of the time we tag them for NOAA and release them unless it looks like they will not survive.
It was also Danny's first shark and he wanted to surprise his son, a hudge shark fan with the jaws for his birthday. I always hate seeing these great creatures die but I would feel worse sending an injured shark back out to die a slow death.
Undeross - is this outside Fraser, CO? I realize it could be anywhere, but I swear that's the stream that goes through there (broken bridge in the corner is a giveaway). My inlaws hike up there all the time, and we have a bunch of family shots hanging out under that tree if that's the same spot. Small world.
