A few days ago we took a trip up the Alec River as far as we could go in the boat (about 12 kilometers). At that point the river forks and the flows are too low to get any higher, even in the jet. It was the furthest up any of us had been. What was neat was that the water was extremely clear and loaded with big Dolly Varden. Conrad and I took turns rowing the boat down while casting to the fish holding in the river. The weather was nice and it was a blast. We would love to get back up there but the water is dropping fast and I don't know if it will be possible this year.
Here's the focus of my research, a big male Dolly getting ready to spawn way up the Alec.
After a long day of fishing it was a late trip back down to camp, about 2 hours in the boat.

Does that research taste best with butter and a little lemon?
