Ghost lake/Upper mathew river

[white moose]

Anybody hunt off ghost lake and can you run a jet boat up river from the lake? Any info would be great. I have done cariboo river between cariboo lake and kimball lake. Thanks

i dont know if you can get a jet boat down to ghost there isnt a real good boat lanch there is this little like quad trail that goes to the lake not sure how big your boat is though

I have a 18.5 ft firefish hammerhead. She fairly big. Hope somebody else chimes in. Looks like good moose country.

I have floated this section in oct. It was quite skinny as I had to walk beside my raft in many sections. Pretty sure Moose is LEH here.

you wont get the boat to the lake.... its a "Car top" launch

[f350ps]

Not a snowballs chance in hell you'd run a jet in there. K

Correct, and a very tough launch at that. You have to pack your boat quite a ways downhill which means uphill back. Been there done that and never again!! K

Launched my 10 footer there went to the other end and up the river a bit. Beautiful in there. But not gonna get a big boat n there.

lol, when we packed our boat and motor down there we got'er all set up and the bloody motor wouldnt start... after an hour of "WTF?" we packed it all back up..... Never did get to the other end. Aparently there is a cabin down there.

No way to get anything bigger than a car topper in there. And even thats a bit of work. Good area if you have an LEH Griz tag

Ok, I guess the big boat is out of the question. That being said has anybody done the cartopper thing and went for moose? How far can you get up river, say for a sept 10 opening?

Not far at all, way too many gravel bars! I had a buddy try it one time in a little dinghy and he did get too far and ended up hiking out with it on his back. K

Murphy was a ******* that day! lol... But,,, The guy whos motor it was is a bit of a doo it yourselfer.... he took it home,, and "Fixed it" then brought it on a duck hunt... Well.... Good thig we also brought dads Merc ... 2 boats 2 motors.... Well now becomes 1 boat 2 trips... lol


Srupp, When you said "Ghost lake outfitters" I immeadiatly knew that was who owned the cabbin! im not for going to cabbins to stay when i dont know who owns/built them. If you want to go to the end of that lake,,, its a haul it looks like,,, and be careful of the wind, we had camp blown down in the campsite one day. So if you pack a 12' tinnie down there to do it, follow the shoreline so you can easily get there and pull out when the huricane hits.
Whe that wind hit us we drove into a big cutblock.... it WAS a hurricane

There was a 14-16 foot John boat with a 30-40 OB jet parked there when I went there a few weeks ago. Assumed it was the guides.

Zorn used to have a Jet sled there too.

[sparkymacker]

I had a LEH in there a few years ago, not much Moose sign around. I think the guide is no longer active in that area?
