We took a slight detour from our usual route and were amazed at what we saw. With all the moose tracks we initially thought the rubs on the trees were from a moose but a closer inspection showed all the trees had claw marks, not antler marks. The number of trees marked was truly astounding. Gabe was convinced it was the work of a very territorial black bear. The height of some of the marks meant that it was definitely a big one!
Today was a great day to head to the upper Squamish River and try for trout, steel head and bull trout before the next snowstorm of what is turning out to be a long winter! We crossed our favorite stream and I was amazed to see one last coho, bravely holding in a spawning channel. We had some time on the river with at least five other fisherman and between us one steelhead and 4 bull trout were landed. I managed to hook something bright and silver and got it to the surface but alas it spit the hook. After a few hours of testing various runs we decided to call it a day. A few eagles were kind enough to see us off. The walk to and from the river crossed numerous moose, deer and a pair of wolf tracks. The wolves had come across the river to our side and were crisscrossing the moose and deer tracks.
