    Breaking the ice...Spatsizi

    So I'll get the ball rolling with successful draw questions. I have sheep and moose for Spatsizi with a group of us into Coldfish Aug 21. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with where to look for sheep but I'm curious about the moose.
    I've flown into northern lakes around that time before and I've usually found moose in the subalpine almost into the alpine. Can I expect that, or should I focus on the lake?

    On a mid-September hunt there a few years ago, we saw moose down at the lakes and up high in the subalpine. I'd recommend hunting low...unless you really enjoy long, heavy pack-outs! That said, you are going earlier than we did, and they are more likely to be up high then.

    Take a boat, big lake, good fishing and moose at far end of lake where Gladys creek comes in. Seen moose swim across lake to reserve. Seen moose in back country while chasing caribou but too far to pack out. Camp cabins are nice with common cook house with stove and gravity feed running water. Beautiful spot.

    Went to Coldfish lake once. Great fishing for sure where Gladys creek flows into the lake. Beautiful country for sure.

    Got room in the plane? I got a caribou draw there but planes out of Tatogga are full!

    Good idea, get all the traumatic moments out of the way early.

    Did you fly into Coldfish?
    How’d you make out?
