I have learned over the many years of guiding for Grizzly Bear Lodge to view the area through the eyes of my guests and it never ceases to amaze me the number of times I have requests to stop for photos of scenery. It is important to note that there are a maximum of four guests per boat and on many trip you may have the guide to yourself. To stop for photos you do not need to consult ten or twenty other people you just say STOP and it happens. August frequently has a calm water and foggy start to the day but the fog is normally gone before noon.
Curious 3 of 3
Even the mammals (including me) that are in my boat are curious. This occurred on one of the native “food fish” days. This commercial seiner had let out its net and was retrieving it when we pulled along side to watch. They use a large scoop net on a hoist that they lower into the water to bail the salmon from the larger seine net. This was ok for a food fish in that they got 7 or 8 scoops which is close to three hundred salmon but would have been poor if they were commercial or “money” fishing.
