Grizzly Conditions!

 Went out for a walk today with my buddy Michael Franco.

We toured up grizzly and the wind was blowing hard! Shark fins everywhere. We snapped a few photos up top.

 Looking down canyon at Superior.

All grins on the ridge. Michael bought Dalt's split board and this was his maiden journey. Going down was tougher than going up it seems like in these conditions. The snow was severely wind blown and we were constantly dodging rocks just below the surface. We ran into a dozen other people and they were skiing down the skin track so we did the same for the most part. Just not enough snow yet!  Ran into a few interesting situations and we will both be sore for a few days (boot packed a creek bottom for a minute)...

Cant wait for more snow!

Thanks,
Chris

Great day with Miles and Grider

I forgot my camera this trip so we only have one photo. We caught lots of fish but this one warranted the  "dig out the phone for a picture...". Caught her in fast water.

Miles Day sent me a message Saturday asking if I was up for a fish on Sunday. I replied yes! Later that night Grider sent a text saying he was craving a fish as well so we had a plan.

Miles took us to his secret spot and we put in some serious walking. We were catching fish from the first cast and it didn't stop all day. As we worked up stream we started to run into more and more guys. I felt like I was in a Viagra commercial with all the guys fly fishing shoulder to shoulder on a perfect day and labs running around... Haha

Grider was on and he was reeling browns in all day and Miles was throwing a dry fly and he was also doing really well. I wish I had more photos...

Thanks,
Chris Giles
