Olympics Backpacking

Smoke has kept me out of the cascades for the past week. My son, however, reports that the Olympics high country has been smoke free.



He took some brookies in an Olympics high lake on an Adams dry fly.





He even had an unusual audience...

One other pic from the trip which shows why you hang your food when you backpack in the olympics...

Oh geez. Bears in the OP?

Post that everywhere. Hopefully it helps reduce the number of visitors and especially fisherman on the waters this coming Sept/Oct.

Looks like it's headed right toward camp, too. Ready for a pic-a-nic basket.

My son said there the college boys in the camp where the bear was headed weren't prepared for the bear's appearance. Would have been fun to watch.

If you stick to the MAIN AGENDA, they won't mess with you.

Doood, look at the size of that dog!

Nice report, thanks for sharing.

Hopefully the smoke clears out of the cascades soon. Planning a few trips between the 15th and 23rd. Always good to have the Olympics as a fall back.

Awesome!
