Outpost Update ~ June 22 "Changeover"

June 23, 2012

Changeover day at the Outpost...

Just as we're getting one group trained up and finely tuned on the water...its also time for them to go. Peter wanders off the helicopter as the guys get it unloaded.

Moments later our new friends leave...

A perfect day for a ride in the heli, calm, clear & fast...

Our new arrivals are full of anticipation...

Champagne smiles from Chris, Rodney and Jim.

They've been waiting to get out there and do this...

Marky-mark and Brian show off an "on the water" Chinook.

It was a picture perfect day with the fishing slowing a bit but still remaining strong. Four tyees the biggest 2 were 34 pounds and a monster hali release.

At the lodge the sun was out and Justine, Hannah and Catherine wave welcome to the returning anglers...

First home were Jim, Guide Pete and Amos...

They had a few fish today but had to work for the hits.

Dawn, Guide Gordie and Rodney were next up with a 34 for Rodney and 30 lb release for Dawn...

There was the usual "What did you get" action and excitement...

Excitement leads to romance...

Herb gives his first ever salmon some love.

John and John pose with a beauty...

...and out on the water Marky-mark was "wrasle-ing" Peter's monster halibut...

Its a little technique he uses to lasso the fish, hold her steady...and get a great picture before letting her go...

70 inches long an estimated 179 pounds, it was the biggest thing Peter had seen let alone catch...set free moments later no worse for wear. Well done guys!

See you tomorrow
