Helicopter Update

Ladies,

I called to see if we could borrow a Satellite phone while fishing. That's a no go unless he can track one down. So, who ever gets their arm eaten off by a grizzly, will have to wait until the helicopter returns to call a doctor.

We discussed water conditions. Right now, due to recent rains and heavy snow over the winter, the South Ram is dirty and heavy. We discussed him flying over one week before our scheduled trip, June 23rd, to get us an update. If the river still looks bad for landing and fishing, we decided a spot way up out of reach on the Black Stone maybe better in June. He was up there yesterday and said it looks great. Everything depends on where the rivers originate, how high up they are, etc. He assured me there are spots on the Black Stone that very few people can get to. Only horses are allowed in that part of the world (motorized vehicles have been banned). So, I'm excited to say it's still a go and that we will have a blast. The Black Stone has huge bulls and big ass cutts.

I'll follow up later. Everyone should bring a small emergency kit with them. Please buy bear spray. Back country, no phone, etc.
