Had a good 4 day trip last week. Big ( for the wilderness) browns on big streamers! The full story is on my blog, but these were the highlights. Now is the time to get up there!

I highly recommend the full story, it is a GREAT read! The term "manhood deep" is new to me, but I have experienced it myself, and it is a perfect description.

What a killer trip you had! Manhood deep, danger zone.
I’m also all about the end of the trail barley sodas. Thanks for the update. You still using those special streamers you tied up?

Great TR! Great fish! I really like how your reports read. I take it you didnt have to "dispense justice" to any unwanted bloodsuckers this trip? :lol:

NO! We dont speak of those times any longer! Dark days! :D

There were a ton of mosquitoes though, but with all the water up there, it was to be expected. Glad you guys enjoyed the read.

Thanks for taking the time to write up such an involved and entertaining report, it sounds like it was a wonderful trip. Great pictures and fish!
