Anyone been up and back? With the Telegraph Creek fire raging and wind from the southwest I’m wondering if the mountains are terribly smoky? Particularly the Cassiar area. I’m headed up next week and will put it off if I need to.

Wondering the same thing hate to put all this planning into our hunt and be cancelled from something like this. you can check out www.firesmoke.ca shows you the active smoke in Canada.
Hearing it’s really smoky out that way from buddy working up there
Talked to Bill at BC Yukon. He’s not even flying right now. Says it’s clearing and should be going by the weekend.
There are several fires around Dease Lake. The closest one to Cassiar is the Elbow Lake fire just south of Dease Crossing. Yes the area is very smoky as the two biggest fires combined are at 29,000 ha just west of Dease Lake. If you can delay your trip, it might be a good idea. There still remains a chance of evacuation of Dease Lake but the WildFlire folks appear somewhat optimistic that it won't be necessary. The amount of air power (now flying out of Iskut) is impressive as these are now the biggest fires burning in BC. It definitely won't be the same hunting around this area this fall.

Cant see the actual dease lake from the highway it’s so Smokey.
With everything going on there it might be best just to avoid the area.
