Heard of them at the basin. Was an unbeliever.
Till I saw this guy at Watt a few minutes ago.

And my buddy got 8 salmon yesterday upstream. Guess we know what they are chasing.

I've seen them at Disco many times, but never that far up the AR. Thanks for the photo Matt.

At one time last month there was a total of three up above Sunrise.
If you do a search on Fox40 news you can see GoPro footage of them from
Blaire. They also interviewed him about it. He guides on the AR and saw them quite a bit.

Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.
