Heading to 3-17b on 3/4 curl leh

[11hunt11]

Hey fellas, headed to 3-17b in the jet boat on a sheep hunt. Hoping this late season brings the big boys down near the river. Plan on launching at big bar. Any info on the area would be sweet Hopefully can post some pictures when I get back.

Lucky you. I'll be up there hunting as well, no leh for me. I'll be looking for matures or full curls depending where I end up. Good luck on your hunt, hope you bag a big heavy horned sheep

Without climbing quite aways from the river you might not see sheep. Hunted the area for years. Steep drops to the river and the sheep are usually above them. Ewes will probably be by the fields and the Rams might be close.

thanks Brew! Hope to see you there. Do you know anywhere to launch by big bar ferry? I found out you can't launch there? Do you know the closest area that i could launch to there?

[JoeSixPack]

I think the only launch is in Lillooet

[todbartell]

can launch in PG

[silvertipp]

To the best of my knowledge you cannot get to big bar from lilloet on the river the rapids are not passable

[Jack Russell]

Bridge river rapids are formidable opponents to boat north of Lillooet. Don't do it.

I believe boaters used to launch at Gang Ranch bridge. Not sure about that anymore.

Once up there, park the boat, climb up out of the river bottom and start glassing. You will see the odd sheep/band on the last break to the river edge, but mostly up and beyond in the hills above the first break.

This time of year the launch at hand is not suitable for a jet boat. Your best bet would be Williams lake.

11hunt11 I saw 2 jet boats on the west pavilion road today and I was wondering if one of them was you. All I know is I wouldn't want to go down that steep hill to the ferry let alone with a jet boat.

You never make it calling wolves or hiking with your gimpy knee.
