SETTING OTTER AND BEAVER SETS

TIME TO TRY TO GET SOME OTTER AND MAYBE A BEAVER.  BRYAN IS WEARING HIS MASTER GUIDE SERIES HIP WADERS AND VIKKI HER XTRATUF.  THESE ARE BOTH THE BEST OF THE BEST.  THE AREA WE ARE GOING TO IS DOWN A CREEK AND LOTS OF FRESH GRIZZLY SIGN.  THEY ARE HERE FISHING OF COHO SALMON.  WE SHOUTED AND BANGED THE PAIL.  HERE WE COME!!!!!!!  YOU CAN ONLY SEE 30 FEET AHEAD AND IT IS SCARY.  THEY CAN RUN AT 40 KM AN 

 HOUR.  BE IN YOUR FACE BEFORE YOU CAN BLINK.  BYRAN HAS THE 45-70 BUT HIS RIGHT HAND IS CARRYING THE TRAP POLE. 

 TRAP PLIERS, MACHETE, LONG RUBBER GLOVES, WIRE, CUTTERS, RIBBON.

YOU CAN SEE THE FRESH BEAR TRACKS ON THE LOG THAT IS CROSSING THE CREEK  .... ALSO ON THE SAND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

 NOW ISHI IS YOUNG AND IMPATIENT ...SHE WANTS TO FOLLOW BRYAN, EVEN THOUGH VIKKI IS YELLING AT HER NO!!!!  SHE JUMPED UP THE HILL AND FELL TOTALLY INTO THAT BEAVER HOLE (THE DARK SPOT TOP OF PICTURE)  EVEN HER HEAD WAS WET.  SHE CAME BACK AND SET BY VIKKI.  A GOOD LESSON WAS LEARNED.

 THAT WORRIED LOOK HAS APPEARED IN HANNAH EYES AS SHE WATCHES THE SALMON CREEK BEHIND US.  THEN YOU CAN HEAR THE GRIZ SPLASHING IN THE CREEK.  VIKKI YELLS AND MAKES LOTS OF NOISE.  SHE WAS REALLY GLAD TO HAVE BRYAN BACK FROM ACROSS THE POND.... EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD THE 45 - 70 READY.

MORE SIGN OF FRESH GRIZ SALMON FEAST ON WAY BACK.  VIKKI WAS HOWLING LIKE A WOLF AND BRYAN WAS DOING A BIG BABOON HOOT.  

LOTS OF FRESH MARTEN SIGN ALSO.   WE WERE ALL GLAD TO GET BACK  IN THE BOAT....  WE'LL HEAD BACK IN TWO DAYS.
