2007 Anticipation of a Good Year

I created this blog so all our guides could contribute to it as we are often in various parts of the world and unable to communicate with our beloved clients. It will also be a place where you can get updates on some of things we are up to, river reports, issues of the area, new waters etc. I'm not sure what kind of input I will get from our guides as their winter work on the ski hills, poker rooms, night club circuits etc. makes for an arduous schedule that affords little time for much else, but I will remain dedicated to it.
We are definitely feeling winter here in Fernie, -20 and below is 'glacializing' our hills and strengthening the snow pack. The Ski Resort reports a solid base of 89" at mid hill which is critical of course to the flows of our drainage. The snow is the blood source of our waters and we are anticipating great flows in our rivers all season if our winter continues. That said, Mother Nature is unpredictable and the imminent threat of climate change through global warming can manipulate weather quickly in our snow capped valley. Time will tell and we can only hope that we as a people will come together and make changes now so our water sources remain fresh and abundant.

More fresh water, more fresh fish, more happy piscavores!!!
