Don,
So do I!! Just read Thursday's fishing report in the CDA paper, and they are averaging 6-9 chinook in a day's fishing. Not bad. They did mention that they are on the smaller size. Catching them about 90 feet down. You know, Kootenay isn't that far off. Only 2 1/2 hours from Spokane. You do need to spend several days up there, however, because the fish bite in streaks. You might fish 6 hours without a strike, and then pick up 2 to 4 rainbows in the 8 to 20- pound range. One day might be cold, and the next red hot. It is about the same as heading over to the coast fishing, and the trout average much larger than the average salmon! Mike
