August 22nd - Fishing Morning - Adventure Afternoon

Today the focus was on fishing for everyone this morning with a nice round of salmon fishing and a few bottom fish, the afternoon was split between some adventures and some people fishing.

The adventures included a hike up river behind the Lodge for some trout fishing, a group hiked up to Orchard Lake and did some trout fishing another group hike up to Lake Shelokum and the hot spring while a couple boats headed to the Hatchery at Neets Bay for some bear and wildlife watching. And of course a couple boats were out pounding the bottom for a few more fish.

All in all a very productive day.
