    With all that Rain we had up here in the Rocks, the Rivers and Creeks are Booming as if springtime. Be extremely careful drifting the Anzac. Some year sago I was surprised coming downstream around a corner with the worst ever "Logjam", the meanest Deathtrap I ever seen. Thanks Good, at that time it was low water otherwise I am sure I would have not make it. Apparently many years before a Trapper and his 2 Children lost there Lives in there.

    Cheers

    Well I appreciate the heads up! Definitely don't want to be putting ourselves into any sketchy situations. Not worth it.
    We will pack the canoes and keep our fingers crossed for some dryer weather prior to our trip!
    Goal number 1: Fill our moose tags!

    I've had luck in the Parsnip just tossing out wedding bands with a chunk of worm, caught 3 different species of game fish in 3 casts. Rainbow, dolly and grayling. The rivers are running fairly high and dirty up here right now, 2nd that warning about taking care on river floats.
