Fall fishing and canoe trip

September is here and that means its time for a river trip. We headed up to the Smithers/Terrace area for some fine fall salmon/steelhead fishing. After fishing in the slashing rain for days we thought we would warm up by driving 800kms further north to Telegraph Creek and the Stikine river. This river is one of the most scenic rivers I have paddled anywhere....plus it has hot springs!

Hot Wheels hooks another one near Kitwanga


Wes and Alessa passing us as usual.

 
Not bad views from the river.


The big peaks of the Stikine Icecap can be seen for several days as you paddle down to Wrangell
